Is the LED Flash 100% invisible to Animals and Humans?

No. The IR LED panel will glow red. It doesn't illuminate the surroundings though since it is InfraRed (IR).. in other words you can see it but you have to be looking at it when it flashes or comes on for video. You won't see a burst of red light flashing in the woods or in your yard, etc... The only ones that are virtually non-detectable are called 'no-glo' IR cameras.... such as Bushnell MAX black trophy cam... the LED panel on the front of these cams will appear black in the pictures of the item. Hope that helps.

The ir flash can not be seen at all. The subject is illuminated but they will not know their picture is being taken. Night time pictures will be black and white you will not be able to determine the color of clothing or hair but if you will know when they were there and how many there are.

I purchased this camera for the same reason. There is no visible flash. A human will not know the camera is taking their picture. It also does not make any sound.

No flash. Doesn't disturb our deer while they feed. We only turn camera on at night. We noticed if left on contnuously batteries go quickly.

Always flashes, it has no motion sensor in it. If you mount it near the front door it does look real and it does work because if you move away from the front door my wife can see me, if she is looking out the window. This thing is not real people, it just looks real. You can get some that they blink only after dark and I seen one that follows you when you walk by it.

You generally won't see the laser, if you look carefully there is a TINY hair for a red light coming from the diode, you shouldn't look at it, because it is a laser, but you really have to try hard to see it, it's just like a very very tiny laser pointer light, but near impossible to see it shine on anything. They are completely different than optical mice, which typically use a red LED light, which will certainly be visible. If the laser did die, the mouse wouldn't jump at all, it wouldn't pick up any movement.

The strobe mode flashes about 3 times per second. It is not blinding and I would not rely on it as a personal safety device.

There is no shutter noise. There is no flash in the day time and from what I have observed of the night time pictures it has taken the red flash at night does not seem to bother the animals. My Camera is set to take a picture a minute and it does not seem to scare anything off.

Pic's are black and white at night. Flash is visible red glow, but doesn't appear to spook game.

Nope! This is a flash with a relatively long refresh time. You are probably looking for an led light array for consistent light

There is no noticeable flash. There is a low glow from the LED's. I've captured a few animals with it and have not noticed them pay attention to the camera. My biggest complaint with the camera is that it doesn't seem sensitive enough (compared to my Bushnell) and the trigger is a little slow as I've caught an animal exiting the frame a couple of times. Other than that it's OK.

First off there is no light flash, it is a dull redish glow of infrared that takes a great night picture. Not many people noticed mine and it worked 40-50 feetaway, great security camera. I set it up to take 3 pix in 5 seconds for more security............hope this helps

The strobe only works at night--he flash temp blinds animals in the dark--otherwise, it does not seem to bother dogs.

Mine has never flashed. There is s slight pause when it's first turned on---but that is so short that it doesn't bother me at all.

It is invisible. No red. I went through the same thing. Make sure your camera is sensitive to 940nm. Only a camera in that range will see the illumination .

There is no "flash." The infrared glows a dull red. In pitch dark or quite dark conditions an observant person might notice the dull red square.

As long as the strobe is on, it will be visable! I've been fortunate and not have to use it in an emergency, but trust the companies claim of function. Enormus liability if claim isn't true.
