if this sends ir signal, how effective is it in daylight or around corners?

It is effective in daylight. At least, I have not had any problems with it. As far as around corners, it will depend on what the IR has to bounce off of and how far it has to go. I use my SU-800 with dual SB-800 speedlights on umbrellas. It takes about half of a second to one full second from the time I press the shutter button for the camera and the flashes to fire because the SU-800 has to get the instructions to the speedlights and have them all sync up. (The speedlights are behind the camera and are facing away from the camera into the umbrellas, and they don't have direct line of sight to the SU-800's IR transmitter lens).

Very short range, if you had an extra IR light in the room it would help. Mostly for day IMO.

I've got a Red 6 I bought 6 weeks ago. Haven't really used it on game yet but did a fair amount of experimentation on day and night shooting and distances, motion, etc. A few of my night shots were very washed out. My yellow lab was maybe 8 feet away when he triggered the camera. Seems like subjects closer than 20 feet end up over exposed. Another test was of me in the yard at night 20 feet away and I showed up clear as well as my neighbor's house wall that was over 60 feet from the camera. While reading your note I thought of something you might try in case your camera is over exposing your night shots with too much infrared for the closer shots. Try using some black electrical tape cut in small pieces and placed in front of a few of the IR leds to block out a portion of the light they emit. Also try not to have a lot of dry light colored grass in the photos to cut down on the amount of IR reflection back to the camera. Good luck. One last thought, it could be that the software that must distinguish between Color Daylight exposure recording and switching the unit to exposing for IR black and white may be having a problem during that transition period when its switching prematurely (too early) to IR and the combination of IR and still existing twilight is overexposing the shot. I suspect that might be your case.

The transmitters periodically transmit an update signal, which also tests the battery. If the receiver missed an update signal, the lights will alternate red/green until it receives the next update signal, which may return on its own if the range is marginal. The actual range is much less than advertised unless everything is outside and in the line of sight. I can barely get 20 feet through a wall. If both lights are on continuously, it may be a real failure.

In the dark, the backup lights on my car provide enough light to see reasonably well about 10 ft. behind the vehicle although the picture is grainy. Bright lights, e.g. overhead lights at gas pumps, tend to wash out the image. I don't know anything about the IR unit.

Close to medium range. Of course a lot will depend on the, if any, ambient light there is available. The ir light is decent.

My sending unit is mounted on a pole approximately 400ft from my house. To get to the receiver the signal must pass through 4 walls. It works fine under those conditions.

I don't think that one can be answered because each situation is different, and it would depend on interference that might reside in that space. I can tell you that it had been just fine for our trilevel home, and that our signal is more reliable with this unit than with our old. Signal range can be effected by so many things that without seeing your space I would not hazard a guess.

Yes, worked for me very well, and more than that - i developed custom application that will detect spectrum changes (new transmissions).But decoding complex signals probably will have problems, Raspberry CPU power is limited.

Actually as per its data sheet. It send signal up to 9 or 11 miles if there Is no obstruction. .. I used it to get signal for 300 meter with one brick wall. You can find more detail at ubiquiti. Com

I used mine in a daylight room and it worked fine. I was showing color and black and white photos. Tom

Sure did. All of the clicking drive me nuts. I thing I have mine set at 5% tolerance and it fixed it. Going to have to find your own mix that works for your environment. It will pick up even the slightest light from like oven clocks to neighbors lights outside. It sees it all. My buddy had to leave his ir off and just use an external ir light. Good luck.

I think the closer that you get it to the window is the best. Mine is near the front of the house, street side, and I placed it above my window. The signal will travel through the sheet rock. It works great. I don't think the metal roof will matter much, infact it might enhance the signal. When I placed the signal on top if the entertainment center the signal was not as strong as it was by the window!

Outside is always better than inside so I would expect some signal strength will be sacrificed...test it both inside and outside and you can judge. You may realize sufficient strength with your inside option. Check the internet for your specific question...it has a World of information.

If it's infrared I think the sunlight interferes with the signal. Maybe on a still cloudy day you could fly it.

I have one of these deployed in an outdoor environment. Good strong signal in buildings up to 1500 feet away. One key note. Unless your trying to reach more than a km don't turn the distance setting up. That only changes timeout settings.

That's exactly what I do why mine. Works well but there are some issues.The IR lights can cause an intolerable reflection off the glass. You may need to cover them with black tape.Also sun glare of the window glass can be an issue, best to point it away from the direction of the sunlight.
