Hi,
Not sure Im in the right place but Ill ask anyway. What is the difference between an infrared LED for any modern electronic device (tv, dvd player,etc.) that dont show visible light and the ones in my cheapie wireless security camera. The camera has 12 IR LED's that glow a faint red (but light up the night on camera!), I wanted the non-visible kind like in remotes.
I do somewhat understand the light spectrum, my camera is "near infrared". Can I buy the non-visible LED's and make an illuminator/array with the remote-type led's? The illumination kits I have found for sale do emit the faint red glowing LED. One kit had LED's that were 850nm but will glow red due to "a small spread into the 750nm range.
Thank you.
