Hello Gents
I am going to install some cameras on my back yard, at night is very dark and most likely I will need some IR illuminators to coer an area of 35'x70'.
I need recommendations for a good IR Illuminator.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Chewie
 
Be careful about how bright (# of LEDs) the IR illuminator is up close, if you are concerned about close shots. Too much light will wash out any detail. So more LEDs is not always better. This can also be mitigated by placement of the external light. I try to place some of my external illuminators down range, since the cameras IR covers the close image. If you do get a "too bright" light, you can disable some of the LEDs.
edit: I do not know why "IR illuminanator" comes up as hot link. Not my link. That light on amazon looks like a POS.
