Would like to know if I can use an IR Illuminator with the Arlo for hard to see areas where the the night vision doesn't work well such as outdoor where indirect lamp post light maybe possibly interfering with night vision visibility?

I have tested the IR flood light that was sold as an option/with the Vuezone night camera.... It runs at 850nm ( slightly visible red glow from leds ) and works great with the Arlo cam as additional lighting if needed. It does require a ac outlet tho.

When in IR mode, my cameras have no trouble seeing the IR LEDs on our Wiimote sensor bar (they're 950nm LEDs), so an IR spotlight should work fine.

Hokeysmoke... Thanks! Great to know. After doing some research, not sure if I can use one since I don't have a power source near by for these IR Illuminators. I'm exploring various solutions. Thanks again.

Old thread resurrected.
Anyone know what wavelength the camera is tuned for? 850 or 950 nm is a bit of a spread and I'd like to get max range with the proper wavelength.
Edit: never mind. The specs show it as 850 nm.

I have used the Vue Zone IR flood light to extend the range over 50ft.... it's at 850 nm with a auto on/off day-night sensor... ac powered
but, just look a ebay/amazon for an 850 nm floodlight

For what it's worth, I have a trail camera that has 940 nm LEDs for a flash (completely invisible to humans) and I can confirm that the flash shows up quite brightly on my Arlo Q videos.
