Can u see the IR at night? Bright or subtle? Am considering HCO SG580 vs. this one-for 2 legged creatures trespassing? Anyone know?

I initially purchased the SG580 and put it to the test. I ended up returning it and bought the HCO Uway GSM Wireless Scouting Camera,USM652. This is a good camera and I am very satisfied. This a good sight for doing your research. http://www.trailcampro.com/uwaytrailcameras.aspx

Yes but subtle. I use it for hogs. Worked great along with a system that sends images to cell so I can know if I want to close gate.

Yes, they are visible at night for humans, but it's a subtle glowing red, that only lasts for a half second. Both models work great as well as we sell both of them.

It is visible but only detectable if you are looking for it. It does not catch the eye.

Yes, you can see IR at night. I use it for 2 legged trespassers as well. Mostly for deterrent. I have other security cameras installed and use this one pick up the back of the property where other security cameras can't get at night.

Get the green one. Took this on a night hunt and was incredibly impressed with ot. The animals were not bothered by it and the light created a sharp picture with my scope

I have several and I am very happy with this camera. The color changes to a amber hue during the dusk and dawn hours but the object remain clearly visible. They have a good range in total darkness with the IR on, but you won't make out a lot of detail.

Zero Lux or Night Vision Setting. That is an infra red light - it gives that green hue like you see in Ghost hunters or a military op at night.

The CMVision IR200 is an excellent 850nm infrared light for night use. It comes on at dusk and goes off at dawn and can be used with most infrared cameras. Set the light up then check it at night to see if it is set properly. Adjust the light for maximum coverage for your camera. I have a camera and IR200 125 feet from the farm house and it provides excellent lighting for the house and property.

Yes, it can see in low/no light settings. I would get a larger external IR light to go with it to see further like I did.

Sounds like you are having trouble with the night vision IR. Call zmodo 800 line. They are very good. Sounds to me like the camera may have been damaged in shipping or something. It should definitely see in the dark.

I have not tried these at night. I use them primarily for bird watching, for which they are excellant. But this is what I will; tonight or tomorrow night I will take them outside and see how they work in "low-light". Tom

Agreed, no visible sign the camera is running. To notice the ir lights it would have to be really really dark. From my yard at night on a new moon I still can't see the ir lights.

The light for ice starts blinking when the outside sensor drops to 35/35 degrees. The light blinks once every five seconds. How bright is appears would be subject to its environment. Are you in a well lighted room?, and what is the viewing angle? If this would be within one foot of you and about at eye level, then you may get annoyed. I myself do not consider the light very bright, and it may change depending on the freshness of your batteries. As you can see, the information you are seeking, can be considered in with a lot of variables.

This camera does very well in low light, but it is not IR. Infra Red cameras can see people in pitch black, so perhaps find a "Foscam" one if you really need it.

You will see clear detail close up only. You might also need an extra IR light. These are great Gen 1, but they are only Gen 1. Good to see if deer are in field or intruders, but looking at birds at night might be stretching it.

No, but even at night its not distractingly bright. There is a newer version that has a safety cutoff built in if you lean out that's better than this model. Of course it costs more. If you're running a bit fat for safeties sake then this is a good buy

I am no expert on night vision tech. That said when you activate the infared feature you get a really bright image. It seem to be a little fuzzy. but that could be me. Zero in at what ever rough distance you will be using it and blast away. What ever you get beats shooting in the dark.

I agree completely with Francisco. I have three of these and the ir may be visible but the distance is well worth it. I also consider the glowing red lights intimidating and an added deterrent.

Affirmative, I confirmed this by checking it out with a Bushnell Gen 01 NV Monocular. You can clearly see the Red Dot illuminated with andwithout the IR illuminator switched on. Take into account that this is through observation only. I have not tried to test the accuracy or determinePoint Of Impact in a night time scenario. I'm sure that a Gen 3 or Better N.O.D. would have better results than a Gen 01 tube device.

yes it has good day and night clarity, but I must say that I have some Mace 420 TVLs that can match these during daylight. Night time is when these perform very good you get very little hazy within its IR range, which is about 30FT. The IR range is farther then 30FT, but the clarity drops significantly pass that and facial features are not refine.
