I need to install this in near darkness. Will the IR work well?

Mine worked well at first but the sun set right in its lens or card cuz now it wont see if too dark.

From my research, you can, but to use at night the IR will reflect. To get around that you'd have to turn off the IR and also potentially cover with black tape. Then use a LED illuminator like this: http://tinyurl.com/qz457ac

I had poor results. IR function was erratic at best with a tendency to go on and off randomly as well as staying on. Fairly bright LED set. mine was mounted about 15' above surface, 60 foot width is pushing it for decent even illumination. so maybe I just got a lemon...maybe not. It's been shut off for months.

We used our light with our cameras and video recording cameras. If your camera can detect ir light most likely it will work but we don't have that type of camera so we don't know for sure but your camera specs should tell you. Thanks.

I use this device for investigation purposes at work where i plug the camera to a DVR and program the IP address & DNS setting so i can remotely monitor. It is NOT great in the dark as it isnt designed for that. You may look into IR cameras for that.

If there is enough light to avoid the night vision ,than yes it will work. If not the ir lights will reflect off the window glass and either blind the camera or reduce the range. What i did to get around this is to conceal the camera in an old birdhouse my wife had on a table on the porch.

Depends on whether the IR module is inside the extender, or in the head of the cable (where the ir led is). Even if it is in the head, it still may not work...I don't know. Regardless, it seems to me that it would be inside the extender body, this way, you would only need one module. If this is the case, modifying the cable will do no good.

IR is line of sight. If you can't see the sensor it won't work. That goes for any IR receiver. You would need RF (radio frequency).

Night Vision works the best when it's complete dark. If you install camera in half dark environment, the camera IR LED won't completely turn on, that's the worse situation for night vision camera.

This is simple camera with infrared for night vision. The location of installation is up to you. The question is. Will your receiver be compatible?

Since your camera has IR on it this will work. I have had mine for over a year and it works great and throws a nice spread of light.

it will work but your going to have to increase your iso a lot. unless there is adaquit lighting. I had troubles with mine and i returned it

You in fact do not have to be in a well lighted room for it to work, due to IR tech. The amount of movement required for response is extremely minimal, and can be adjusted in the setup software. I use mine for MSFSX, and the only problem I've encountered is when I have shiny stuff behind me in its field of view. Enjoy, this is a great product.

No. I tried this and did not work, which makes sense because it uses IR sensor/signals. Sorry for the delay in responding.

I would definitely turn the IR light off as it just reflects and makes an orb in the video blocking you from seeing things. However I recommend either using it in combination with outside lighting and if that is not an option then try using and exterior infared light (http://www.amazon.com/CMVision-IR30-WideAngle-IR-Illuminator/dp/B001P2E4U4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid;=1444398703&sr;=8-4&keywor;ds=infrared+spotlight&refinements;=p_85%3A2470955011%2Cp_72%3A2661618011) just make sure you have a power supply for the IR light as well since it does not come with one.

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.

SecureCam (SHARX) is being VERY conservative when they tell you the IR range in total darkness is 45 ft. It's more like 45 meters. I have a few of them and they light up object easily over 100 feet away. In fact the IR is so strong I disabled one of them. I use a small $5 IR LED panel which lets me illuminate off axis from the camera. This actually gives me a better image as the shadows help you distinguish more features.
