IR-LEDs wattage

[Politi]

Hello Guys

Can anyone telle me how much watt the IR-LEDs are on?
We would like to change them to a higher wavelength, not visable to the human eye.

Can you help me?

It may depend on which camera your referring to....

Can say they are currently 850nm wavelength and not very strong. To get excellent IR coverage, I used a couple of external IR flood lights ( turning off IR in camera ) to illuminate my front yard... Worked very well out to 45 feet.

You must mean a longer wavelength, as shorter wavelengths move you from IR into the visible light spectrum.

No idea if this would actually work, as the cameras also have an IR filter that kicks in whenever nightvision is enabled.  So a different wavelength might result in nothing being captured by the camera.

@TomMac's idea of an external IR flood is probably a better path.  You could then mask the IR LEDs on the camera.  Even if the external IR floodlight is visible, the camera itself wouldn't be.
