My Bunny cams (2), one has IR capability, but has to be further away from normal w/a one..
Extra W/A lens not suitable (3.6mm) for IR sensor, doesn't focus .
The 6 IR leds in the camera are not powerful enough to illuminate two bunnies, only their eyes reflections.
Fun imagining what they're up to !
However, I would like to IR illuminate them closer.
I have ordered a IR torch from DX (to play with), and 10 IR leds off ebay.
Anyone else used separate IR leds, spec show 120ma each, I am thinking of powering off mains PSU, guidance as to volts and Ω's.
I expect current to be around 1A, in parallel, is it ok to underpower them ?
I don"t want to go the 48+ IR leds illuminator route, unless I have to, seems a bit overkill.
Perhaps even a low power IR incandescent bulb, can't find any at the moment.
So, anyone else experimented with IR ?
