210ft IR Illuminator,Wide Angle Flood Light for Security Camera,w/Adapter

See the attached image. Ignore the left side, the patio is getting lots of help from other cameras. Look only on the right side of the image. See that round lit up area? That's this lamp. Without this lamp, that spot is essentially pitch black. So the lamp makes it visible. Figure it's shining out about 120-130 feet in this pic. On one hand, it's definitely not a wide angle. The camera is wide angle, and it's mounted right near the light, but the lamp is not nearly as wide angle as the camera. It's only covering about half the camera's field of view, if that. On the other hand, in this particular application, I really only needed help for about half the camera's view. So this lamp worked out perfectly. And it's doing a good job of lighting up a very dark place. Keep in mind, too, that the wider the angle, the less intense the light is going to be. The trade-off this one makes is excellent for what I needed in this spot. I'm very happy with it for that reason. One note on the power for this lamp. I tried to piggy-back off the camera's power, via a 1:2 power splitter, but that didn't work. The lamp would come on just fine. But as soon as it got dark and the camera went into night mode and kicked on it's own LED's, the voltage would drop, which made the camera reset. Which of course made the voltage come back up. Once the camera came back up, it would again try to turn on it's own LED's, and reset again. So it was just caught in a loop of constantly resetting and restarting. But I didn't have AC power handy at this spot, and I didn't really want to run it there. So I tried a 100 foot extension for the 12V power for the lamp. I actually just used an extra camera cord and left the BNC side unused, because it's a lot cheaper than an actual 12V power extension cable. Well, it works just fine. I can detect no difference in the lamp's performance with the long 12V extension, as opposed to running power out to the lamp via an AC extension cord. Running 12V out there was much easier and cheaper and safer, and the lamp performs the same.

The device has been active for a week now. I have turned off all camera based IR lighting, and the image is still very crisp in an otherwise pitch black yard. I purchased this to avoid all the reflection of the IR bouncing back off of insects, rain/mist, and pollen in the air, which confuses the camera recognition and causes unnecessary recording. So far, it has remained bright, and turns off at daylight. The installation was easy, provided you removed the mounting bracket first (requires wrench).

Brightness, excellent, disbursement - very good. Dislikes: Having to remove bracket from light to mount. Mounting holes in bracket too large for common fasteners. Adjusts up and down but not side to side.

Works very well, makes like a cloudy daylight. When angled correctly, all my cameras see very well. Multiple cameras, wired and wireless. A good 50 feet distance before fades.

Works pretty good for the money, No issues so far. Paired with a Reolink OMVI 3 Wifi , definitely Increases the Night Vision abilities. Overall has pretty good build quality.

Works great! Use it for yard camera. It is very visible up to 30 yards than trickles down quickly depending on camera quality in low light

I finally put one of these up and last night was the first time I had a chance to look at the outcome. It is a very well defined "beam" at approximately 30deg. With a height of 15.5' the circle of light was approx 10' in diameter. It was plenty bright with a bright spot in the center. The edges are tight but only 30deg. The build quality is not that great if you look closely. The electronic box on the back doesn't line up at all the mounting points. The mounting bracket is not even made for this fixture, it is bent to wide and you have to force it together to make it fit. It is workable but not right. And it is rather flimsy.

Very bright illuminator

Ilumina mucho y con el detector de luz se enciende y se apaga de forma automática. Mucho mejor de lo que me esperaba. No sé si llegará a los metros que marca, yo lo tengo en una finca con varias cámaras, que tuve que anular sus propios infrarrojos, pues se llenaba de tela de araña y me reflejaba el propio infrarrojo que trae y no se veía casi nada, las limpias y al de un par de días estamos igual. En la finca tendré una distancia de unos 35 metros y se ve muy bien.

Handy

Does a great job illuminating the front garden. Feels well-built.
