bomberb17 1 Posted April 9, 2013 Hello, I own the Q-See QC448 DVR with the QM6006B cameras. I have the following 2 questions: A)The camera's IR lights attract many insects, spiders etc. This makes the image very bad and sets out many false alarms. I was thinking of disabling the camera's own IR leds and using an external IR illuminator. Is there a way to turn off the camera's IR leds? B)Is there a way to attach some extra zooming lens on the camera such that it is permanently zoomed to a specific position? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rider_1313 0 Posted April 12, 2013 Pretty sure the answers are No and No...those are kinda cheap cams..they are fixed lens, not replacable or upgradable. and the IR turns on automaticaly when a photo cell senses low light. I dont think i have heard of ir lights atracting bugs tho.. it is invisable light...to humans at least. sry.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawboy12R 0 Posted April 12, 2013 The short answer to the IR bug question is that some can see it, some can't. Those that just see in the visible spectrum can see the red glow of 850nm LEDs the same as you and I. From what I can tell, some spiders can see at least some of the invisible IR, but even if they can't then they can certainly sense the bugs that fly around in front of the cams. Try putting some smelly citrus cleaners around the cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
