Guest deefadog Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Is the IR light harmfull to humans if directed at them for long periods of time? I am only asking as i have a day/night camera set up above our daughter cot and it's active all night, so we can check on her without waking her!

Truss and France Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yes IR lights can be harmful because they get really hot if you are right in front of them. So where is your IR light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Main Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The IR light itself is not harmful to human eyes Paul Main ClearView Communications Ltd Robjohns Road Chelmsford Essex CM1 3AG Telephone: 01245 214104 Fax: 01245 214101 paul.main@clearview-communications.com www.clearview-communications.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian.cant Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Honey...........Ive IR'd the baby! I actually found it strangely amusing that you put the camera with IR up and then wondered if it was a dangerous thing to have done, Oh the pleasures of parenting and it only get worse as they get older lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Engineer Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yes IR lights can be harmful because they get really hot if you are right in front of them.Only those fitted with bulbs, the LED type fitted in most cheap day/night camera's at best get warm.IR light in itself is harmless, infact my Dad used to have an IR heat lamp as recommended by his Doctor to ease minor aches and pains. ........................................................
