Do the infrared sensors glow in red color when it gets dark, like a real camera? If not, I dont think it would look like a real camera in low light.

I installed four of these devices, and they do respond very well to low light conditions. Just make sure you keep an eye when batteries reach their useful life. Regards!

The LED lights only blink (yes, blink) when there is movement very close. I don't see that these LED's serve much purpose at all, unfortunately. I rely on the cameras themselves to be seen.

Not too sure why this happens. Never experience this. The only reason that I can think off is when it gets dark the images are displayed by the infra red, night vision properties of the camera.

Sorry No. The 4 IR LEDs are at the corners of the lens. They are not very bright, a dim dull red color. If you hold your hand close to the lens it does have a effect, illuminating objects in total darkness only up to a foot away. They are no help when recording at night. I tried everything through the menu to turn them off with no luck, my solution was black electrical tape over the four LEDs

If your not seeing a difference let me ask you these 2 questions.1. Are pointing the IR Illuminator in the same direction as the camera?2. Is your camera IR corrective? The camera.has to be IR corrective for this to work.

I did notice they appear to be a faint blue compared to the normal red on the other cameras. FWIW - This camera's IR illumination does seem to be much better than what comes from the stock cameras, & they only turn on when it's dark.

We are not supposed to be able to see the IR flash but I can see a red light when it is on. I have used my cameras for security for quite a while now with very good results. I have a special container which has a cut-out for the camera, sensor and flash but not the display so it is hard to find on my barn in most cases.

Only if your camera is sensitive to 940nm. Most cameras are not. Most only respond to the IRs that glow red. This unit is completely invisible...NO RED GLOW. I'd check the specs or with the manufacturer of your camera and see if it sees 940.

My best guess is "not very well". The three 6010's I use are in areas where some kind of lighting is on during the night. The area outside of this lighting would be similar to a typical camera with the infrared turned off.

You'll ultimately have to gauge this yourself, but I don't believe they're bright enough to stand out as obvious unless you're looking up, or specifically looking for the camera lens. The infrared LED's are very dim and unidirectional, they're not anywhere near as bright as an LED light on your car dash or alarm clock.They do not throw a red lighting pattern like you might think. So I don't view them as a light source someone would immediately be drawn to while walking around, or a light source you'll notice out of the corner of your eye from that distance. I mounted 1 of mine at 7' in a corridor at my front door to make it obvious, but the others are at 10' or higher, and people just don't see the dim glow.

It's a subdued red glow you could miss it if just glancing. If there is other light in the area it's harder to see. I like people to see my cameras.

This is the standard camera. It does not have an IR sensor. You're thinking of the motion-activated camera, which does, and No it does not make a noise.

Hello,Unfortunately I could not get the camera to connect to my computer, maybe just because my computer is older. Anyway, I am sending it back this week. It is my understanding that it does have infra-red capabilities though.Regards,Gerald

Yes, the IR LEDs emit a visible red glow in the 890 nanometer wavelength.it is a very good illuminator for the price. I have also purchased Invisible IR-200-940 CMVision 940nm Wavelength 198 IRLED.Look for 940nm IR LEDs. If u want invisable. But be careful. Alot of cameras will not detect light at that high of a wavelength.

It does have a infrared camera so there is not a flash when it takes a photo but the 18 clear bulbs at the bottom do turn red when it takes a photo, they are on for about three seconds. This could catch someones attention, but most people walk around oblivious to the world around them so most people will not notice the camera. I keep my camera out of reach and some place inconspicuous. both movies and photos are very good on this camera, its good. my camera stopped working for an unknown reason, I sent it in and received a new camera without any questions. I recommend this product.

Dale, I own another brand but the infrared cameras do not flash visible light(infrared wavelength 'flash' is outside human eye perception). There is a red glow on the IR LEDs when the camera is triggered. It's not bright, but it is visible if you're looking at it. If you position your cams right, nobody knows http://www.gizmology.net/LEDs.htm will tell you more than you want to know about IR emitters

With regular IR there is a red glow that is visible to humans and I suppose animals. But that should not be the case with a no-glow camera. They should not be able to detect it

Yes it glows a faint red, while it light is invisible to the naked eye. The source of the IR light will sometime glow red if it is putting out a high amount of IR. This can be circumvented by using more expensive iR illuminators.
