Has anyone found a decent 850 nm IR illuminator? I have the CM Vision Wide Beam 60/80 degree  36 W illuminator, its ok nothing great. Anyone found a hidden gem?

If you can find one on ebay or similar, the old Vuezone IR flood light works really well

Yes, I was doing some digging in the archives, saw you had posted about the Vue Zone previously. I will have to look at the wattage output. I see bosch makes some but holy makrel they are pricey. 

 

I saw a Birnno that works off of 4 D cell batteries and has a PIR sensor on it, manufacturer claims it will last for 40K triggers. Was thinking about giving it a test run due to not having to run cables through the wall to power it. 

 

I have a side yard that needs some additonal illumination. I have noticed that if you place the Pro about 36" away from a regular LED light source it will not revert back to day time and provides some night vision support. 

 

I will check out the Vue Zone though for sure.
