If I wish to install infrared flood lights in my yard at what frequency is this cameras led lights operable at?

I don't understand the question, My Camera emits IR using a 12 volt transformer but some camera systems use 24 volts. All of the transformers connect to standard 110 volt AC.

Same thing here. Two 888LMs both work great, except the motion detector that results in lights turning off only momentarily, and then turning back on almost immediately. It is motion detection, only without motion.

I'd say those infrared lights were not designed for such a long distance - especially if you are talking about an exterior garden or an open field. Half that distance (15-20 feet) is more likely.

I am not sure of the exact frequency, but the light is bluish, much more so than an incandescent bulb. I have a strip installed next to the warm yellow colored LED strip and there is a marked contrast between the two.If you want, I can email you a photo of the two operating together.

no problem here. Installed a year or two ago. Ran old telephone wire pair to the CMV IR-130. Supplied unit with 12 volt DC as specified. The unit will automatically turn off when there is existing lighting ( like sun light ). My wire run was around 50 feet, using 22 gauge wire, as close as I can remember. Note that the frequency of the light must be the same frequency as the sensor in the camera. I was careful to mount the IR-130 in such a manner that water would not run into the internal part of the unit. Note: the hex tool used to adjust the 130 is metric. I do not recall which tool, seems like it is a 3 or 5 millimeter hex tool, but do not remember which. Just be prepared to find the right tool. Unit has never had a problem in the year or 2 that I have been using it. Good luck.

Jim,Based on the design observed, there maybe a question on whether the motion sensor output is compatible with the LED power supply in the flood light. The motion sensor output switch may be solid state and may not be able to control the power supply correctly based on the current draw and power factor of the LED power supply. You need to check with the motion sensor manufacturer to determine if it is able to handle the LED light load. Unfortunately there is little technical information available for the LED lamp.

No, these can only be used with camera's that are capable of picking up Infrared light. Cameras that are marketed for night surveillance for example. With some rare exception all consumer digital cameras, including those in a cell phone have an 'IR Filter' used to specifically block out this type of light as it can create less than desirable image color. In many dSLR cameras there is a a very advanced procedure to manually remove this, but doing so should only be done by experienced people who have a very specific reason to. The light ring LEDs here can also be used with some small SBC (Single Board Computer) add on cameras that come without an IR Filter, some as the NoIR camera for the Raspberry Pi. These small cameras intentionally done have the IR Filter and with IR Lights like these LEDS can be used for 'night vision'. There are also some low cost cameras like the infragram from infragram.org which is part of a larger public/community research site publiclab.org that do some really cool stuff inf interested. They are used for daytime photography but are designed to pick up near infrared for use with certain types of photography and research. I would image you could use these LEDs lights to get night vision pictures at a low cost. As i recall, the publiclab.org website also describes how to remove the IR Filter from cheap USB Web cams, in much the same way they are removed from dSLR cameras, except its easier and you are only messing with a $30-40 web cam not a $1000-$5000 dSLR. Anyways, these LEDs are not really the best quality, be sure to read my review on them i had a lot of issues with the LEDs starting to burn out after just a few hours or a couple days use. maybe try lower voltages or something, or look for better quality. Here is my review for reference:

Your question pretty much summarizes it, EXCEPT that their "motion detection" is not what I expected... To me it seems that its not a "PIR motion detection", but rather any kind of movement detection. I got two sets, one for my deck and other one for front - garage etc. If there is a "car" passing by 100 ft away, that turns on the 40 lumens light draining the battery. Works as expected on my deck and they look beautiful when on low powered light.It needs direct sunlight for best charging.

Not real sure. You have to point the remote control towards the Infra-red sensor on the end of the light chain. If you are trying it in broad daylight, the sensor may not be picking up the Infra-red light. When I received ours, I plugged it into a 110v plug in our garage, activated the remote control, pointed the remote at the receiver on the end of the light chain and it worked fine. The first time I tried it outdoors I could not get it to work. Then I remembered to hold the remote closer to the sensor and it worked fine.

Shouldn't be a problem. The infrared illuminator is built in and runs off the camera's power supply. The output is standard CATV.

IR LEDs are not triggered upon motion detection on any camera. They are activated by a photosensor built-in to the camera that senses whether it is light or dark. When it is sensed that it is dark, the IR LEDs turn on to provide illumination to the camera. Motion activation has nothing to do with the IR LEDS. You should have a DVR that senses motion, and activates recording when it thinks there is motion.

This camera operates on the 2.4 GHZ band. However it is not an IP camera. It is switch selectable between two different frequencies of four allotrd by the FCC for this type of equipment. Also be aware the signal is not digitally encoded.However I have had no interferance with my wireless router or other home network devices while operating these cameras 24 hours a day. i hope this information is helpfull.

I don't think so as it's not designed as a waterproof camera. I does, however work pretty well indoors in my basement. The IR lights are bright and I can see clearly the entire basement in total darkness.

This effective unit only works with CCTV units with a infrared censor. Most residential indoor cameras do not have them. You also have to check what wavelength of infrared is required? This unit is set for 850 nm. If your camera has night time capability ? Then I would recommend this lamp. I don't even need my visible lights for seeing what losers are outside. The lamp does put out a slight red glow from the bulbs. Very very little. It does make it more intimidating and sinister as well. Good luck. Qapla'

Unfortunately, there is no user control of this, it is automatic by a light sensor. However, I have seen mods on the internet to use the built-in remote controlled switch to wire the IR LEDs through, though I have not attempted this yet. This does pose a problem when using the camera at night looking through a window, all you get is IR glare.

I would NOT use this outdoors. That being said most cameras rated for outside use and dvr's have motion detection recording as an option. Furthermore, something that has an IR system will not matter if your light comes on or not. Also, keep in mind, if you put a camera too close to a light you may actually degrade the quality of the image you are trying to record as all of that light close to the camera will throw off the image that is darker.

Yes, The IR's are visible at night, the IR wavelength being 850nm. Not bright, just a dull glow as in all IR cameras with 850nm wavelength's. The night vision is very good, more like a floodlight effect. I have 2 and just ordered another one. I have 16+ cameras around my yard, this one sees the best. Hope this helps.Mike
