It is pitch black at night so I wanted to have pretty good power to get wide and...

    Is there such a thing as a Low voltage or POE powered stand alone IR Illuminator? I'm planning to set up a somewhat hidden street camera up at the mailbox. Right now I have a POE line run to power the camera but I am considering a separate IR illuminator to better light the area so I can try...

    Does anyone know if there is a ir illuminator that screws into a regular light socket

    The title says it all. I am looking for a way to increase my night time performance without having to run additional power cables. If that is not a possibility does anyone know if anyone makes a solar led ir illuminator.
