I am looking for an Infrared lens to put on my Nikon 3200 to do night time spirit photos. Will this see in the darkness?

You need an infrared source of light. From what I have read most flashes also generate some IR light but it is not designed. I've read you can also buy IR bulbs from various sources. You just need to make sure that whatever light source you have generates it above 720nm for this filter. You will need a pretty bright light for this to work at night. Even in broad daylight I still had to hold the shutter open for 20 seconds to get enough IR to hit the sensor. Ideally it would be cool to get an IR flash if there is such a thing.

No, no filter that you place on your lens will help you take photos at night. In fact, any additional glass you add to the front of your camera will block some percentage of light coming through to the sensor. This one will in fact make your images come out virtually pitch black.

You would need a very bright IR source to do any kind of night shooting. Usually I need full sunlight to take any pictures with this filter.

I wouldn't think this would take photos at night. This filter demands long shutter speeds and alot of light to render it's unique look. I haven't tried it at night though.

This filter is not the same as a FLIR camera.A FLIR measures differences in heat, through IR radiation.This IR filter will only allow the IR wavelengths of light to pass through to the camera's fiml/sensor. Nothing to do with heat sorry.

Most digital camera's, including your Nikon, have a filter in front of the sensor that filters out infrared among other things. So no matter what kind of filter you put in front of the lens, you won't get an infrared image. The Fuji X series cameras (XP-1 and EX) will pass infrared and you can get an image with this filter.

YES IR flash works okay at night a few of my pics I could not see very far into the field and couldn't see animal well

Yes, the night vision is really good. The only thing is you need to get an IR light that projects at least 30 feet or so, maybe even get an IR flashlight that throws IR light even farther for outdoor activity.

Yes, the IR led glows red as soon as it is dark. I own several Hikvision cameras and the night view is superb on this camera.

Yes, it will throw light at night. Be aware of the inverse square law which states that the intensity of light decreases with the inverse of the square of the distance. In English, it will illuminate a person standing close to the camera, but it will not iluminate the mountains in the background. You will get the most pleasing light patterns if you swivel the flash head and bounce the light off a nearby surface, which will reduce the harshness of any direct flash. It's a cheap flash, it throws a decent amount of light. It's suited to the amateur market, not of professional quality.

Looks like its designed to imitate infrared emitters. These are used to enhance nightvision in cameras, and you can definitely see it in cameras that have it. The brighter the light, the more the camera can see in pitch dark.

It only lights up a small area in total darkness. Low light helps extend ur infrared. But too much light eliminates the night vision effect. This camera also has problems focusing in the dark. I sold mine because it was a major issue.

From the night standpoint, yes. It's very fast and let's in an enormous amount of light. On the other hand, it's the equivalent of a 24mm lens in 35mm so it's pretty wide for sports as you usually want more of a telephoto lens. For remotes, it's great!

Yes it would work but remember that no camera sees in the dark you need to attach a light such as a IR light. You wont actually see the light that it puts off everything will still be dark to the eye but as this camera is modified for that light spectrum it will pick it up. Something to remember the Ir light has a short power lifespan usually no more then a hour/hour and half tops and a 3 to 4 hr recharge time some IR lights are battery powered and last longer though IE a IR Phantom light .

Camera does not have LED's for viewing in darkness. It has a low lux mode where it will auto-switch from color to B&W; the B&W uses infrared spectrum to enhance viewing. The cut filter is active in color mode to filter out distortion from infrared. See this page for better explaination: http://www.axis.com/products/video/camera/about_cameras/day_night.htm

Hi, this Sony Cybershot doesn't have any infrared or night vision for taking images in the dark w.o the flash. -Ely

The lens are 2.8-12mm lens; you may manually adjust the camera's viewing angle between 40-115degrees and the viewing distance from 60-130feet; the infrared LEDs on the camera can shot out for ~115feet at night. With that being said, the maximum night vision distance you gain from this camera is 115feet.

I'm not sure it'll be the best lens but it's pretty sharp so I'm guessing it would do well. Here are some shots I took with it. Unfortunately, some are with an infrared conversion camera and none of astrophotography. https://www.flickr.com/photos/95942445@N06/sets/72157646972522711/

Night vs day viewing will be a challenge and if what you are really seeing is the reflection of the IR lights when it is dark outside this is not a fault with the camera. You can try adjusting the angle of the camera, making it so it is not straight on to the window with the IR. I have noted when the IR is on, and there is a light source also shining into the lens that the glare can occur - I just turn off IR at that point. I will say however that trying to use the camera inside to view out unless the lens is right against the glass...not a good idea - mount an outdoor camera, or this one inside the available outdoor dome enclosure. Good luck. Night vs day viewing will be a challenge and if what you are really seeing is the reflection of the IR lights when it is dark outside this is not a fault with the camera.

when u use a ir illuminator on bell and howell camcorder built in infrared can u see more clearly to get around it the dark

I have not used it at night but it works well at dusk. Cant beat it for the price. You want something that works at night go gen 3 night vision or thermal, but $$$

It works well in low light. Infrared is just an extra light source. It has regular light, infrared light and no light setting with a push of a button.
