Can I keep the IR leds off to look thru a window?

You are able to turn off the night vision and IR lights in the settings for the camera. Then you can look through a window at night.

Yes, in the setup page there are options for the following:Infrared LED control: [Auto/On/Off]Black and white mode: [Auto/On/Off]Moonlight mode: [Auto/On/Off]IR cut filter control: [Auto/On/Off]LED Control -> off should disable them at night.

Whenever I have a product with an annoying light I get out my black electrical tape to cure the issue. What I do is cut a piece to size and put it over the LED window. If I want to see the light I just cover enough of it so that the light is less of a nuisance. I hope this gives you some relief.

I'm pretty sure you can. When I first was setting mine up I came across a mode of white light only programs.

There is not. I have mine behind my TV, and it works fine. I think that it may be using RF, rather than IR, but would have to double-check.

i did not know you could that. it is automatic, the ir lens is what sees at night. infrared light is what sees.

yes. there is a switch on the unit. i'm curious, tho, why would you want to limit the light?

No, not on this model. The IR lights are always on. Go with the FI8918W or the FI9821W at 720HD. I use the FI8918W looking out the garage window with the IR lights off and a motion sensing light on the outside.

It operates on radio frequency, not infrared, so you can hide it out of sight. I've bought another set for my bedroom since my last review. Hope this helps

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.

Not easily. I actually glued strip LEDs along the bottom of the red below the lock - not as polished, but more light and visibility.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, if you turn off the IR in the Foscam camera I believe it turns off it's ability to see even with an external IR lamp.

To see best through a window the front lens needs to be pressed against the window so the IR light does not reflect back. Or, if you are handy, fashion a tube with a rubber tip (tape works) over the IR light and press the light against the glass.Does not work through screen as the screen reflects brightly back at you.Will have the same problem with any IRNV.

The LED is mainly used for showing which DPI speed you are at. You can't turn it all the way off using the included setpoint software. The closest you can get is set it to blue (darkest color) and add enough DPI profiles so that only one of the lights is lit up. As well, while using the mouse your finger pretty much covers up the lights.

Yes. Configuration -> advanced configuration -> system -> Service tab -> uncheck "Enable IR Light." You may have to update firmware to have this option. I am running version 5.1.2 build 140116. I think you must have at least version 5.1.xx to have this option. Hope this helps.

Yes, the IR LEDs will be visible during night time or in dark areas once the Nightvision is Enabled.

Thats what I do with 2 of them. Be sure to remove anything that would cause glare on the window itself. Put a curtain over it and turn off the LED light. Camera looks through it like looking through glass!

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.
