4K Wifi Full Spectrum Camcorders, Ultra HD Infrared Night Vision Paranormal Investigation Video Camera with 60fps 24MP 30X Digital Zoom - Ghost Hunting Camera(with 2 batteries, 32GB SD card included)

After trying out several different cameras on Amazon cause unfortunately you cannot try these products before you buy them I tried a couple others and sent back cause either the quality was not what it said it was to it was made so cheaply it felt like a camcorder I would give my 8year old to play with!! However when this one came yesterday it was exactly what I wanted!! Great weight distributed throughout the camcorder, easy to use, great all in one package only thing missing is a good microphone, amazing it night vision, and very sturdy and did I mention easy to use cause all the buttons u need are right there rather then going to menu and toggling thru every option just to turn on night vision!!! That can become very annoying especially when ur in complete darkness and wasting minutes to find the option??? It also has 30X zoom feature where all the others are only 16 or 18 zoom??? Overall this is a great camera for under $200 especially if ur like me and a avid ghost hunter/ spiritual medium who uses this for validation to apparitions that I see I wanted to have a good quality inexpensive camera cause yes you can buy named brand ikon, minolta, Sony camcorders but did you know the same parts and processors are the same ones that are in these Chinese models?? Only difference is your buying a overpriced over rated camcorder cause just the name?? If your about a name brand person go spend that extra money your saving with this one and get itself a 3D printer and print those fancy names put it on ur camera so ur egotistical friends who ur trying to impress see you spent thousands on this so called top of the line camcorder!!! Cause with the money you could of saved you could of bought a dozen cameras with all the bells and whistles with all the accessories for the same price was one!! So overal if ur gonna want a quality camera and digital recording for night time ghost hunting or daytime looking for Bigfoot this by far is your best option and Amazon needs to readjust some of their ratings cause I know for a fact competitors love to bash their competition with bad reviews and then have their friends or family write good reviews for these crappy camcorders they sell!!! Cause I had to buy two bad camcorder’s under $100 that were terrible that I couldn’t wait any longer for my refund for the two cause Amazon loves to take their time on returning any digital equipment for as they say 30 days, more like 3 months to ever get your money back but hey what can I do?? This camera was selling for almost $200 or $192 to be exact where the day before the big sale it was finally priced at $152!! I saved $40 but had to buy it before the sale ended!! So buy one or two of these if your a ghost hunter you won’t regret it!!!

I'll start off by stating that I was a little leary of buying a 4K camcorder that was less than $500. But I read the reviews here, plus the Q&A, and decided it was worth a shot. I am SUPER glad that I did! The package is small and compact. It includes everything I needed for a solid vacation camcorder (except a tripod which I already have one). I like the fact that it has a "hot shoe" so that I can connect my shotgun furry mic without a lot of excess wires. The case is adequate for small jaunts and carries the essentials. For the filming, I was very impressed with the daylight filming and focus. The wide lense was perfectly adequate for my needs. Although I don't really film in low-light situations, I wanted to test the built in IR, plus the external IR flashlight. The internal IR provided as much as could be expected of course. But the add on was awesome! For outside filming (like in nature, theme parks, etc) that have a little ambient lighting, this is perfect. Still allows color filming and I am perfectly happy with it. The touch screen works as expected. And I did experience the glare that others have seen. Not too bad-and I suspect this is a coating or specific layer to keep the touchscreen from getting scratched. Minor and I would not have even mentioned it if I hadn't seen it in other reviews. Ease of use-this thing just WORKS right out of the box. I love the fact that it came with an extra battery also. I never run out of battery time with this setup. I have always had to purchase all these accessories in the past (which adds up FAST). But again, all included in this package (I don't need to purchase ANYTHING else!). I uploaded some quick play videos while I was waiting for my car to be serviced. Nothing special-but some real-world examples of how well it works. These are in 4K so if you can watch them on the appropriate monitor, you'll be blown away. Stunning and I have nothing to add!

I bought this camera to use for paranormal investigations, pretty much exclusively using it in total darkness. I also own the previous version of this camera that records at 1080p max and doesn't have the hotshoe mount on it. I just wanted a decent, fairly inexpensive full spectrum camcorder that had a zoom function. The main difference between full spectrum and standard infrared night vision, is the former also sees into part of the ultraviolet light spectrum. A lot of researchers believe that some paranormal phenomena can be seen in that specific light range. You can find modified cameras from brands like Sony, Panasonic, etc. but again, they have to be professionally modified and don't come will the full spectrum capabilities. Onto the actual review. Build quality: As a whole, the build quality isn't that bad. It feels like a budget camera, but it's nothing too alarming until you start recording. There definitely is some shake/rattle to the camera if you're moving it around or panning. I'm not sure what is loose that is causing it, but it can definitely be noticeable. The worst part is the constant rumbling/tinny sound if you're filming while moving around or walking. I'm assuming there's something very close to the camera's microphone that makes that happen. If you're using the camera from a tripod or have it stationary, this isn't going to be an issue. If you're going to be walking around, I definitely have some suggestions on ways to fix the noisy audio. See the audio quality part of the review, below. Video quality: Firstly, the resolutions that this claims to record at is not accurate. It doesn't not record at a full 4k resolution of 3840x2160, but instead the max resolution is 2880x2160. It probably should've just been labeled as a 2160p camcorder. Anyway, it records at the following resolutions: 2880x2160 24fps (UHD) 2560x1440 30fps (QHD) 1920x1080 60fps (FHD) 1280x720 120fps (HD) 640x480 30fps (VGA) I haven't used the VGA option, but between the HD to UHD options, the video quality really isn't going to change a whole lot, neither is the video's bitrate. It's not going to be very noticeable. It definitely doesn't appear to have a very high quality sensor or processor. But then again, it's not a very expensive camera. If you want higher frame rates, the HD and FHD options will probably be the best bet for you. If you don't care for a smoother video or want more of that classic cinematic effect, then you can might prefer the QHD and UHD options. I can also say that overall, there will be a slightly more fuzzy image when you're using the full spectrum mode (vivid color scheme) as opposed to the regular infrared night vision mode (monochrome scheme). I haven't really done much experimenting with the sepia color mode, but I assume it would be a lot like the full spectrum mode. I do recommend using the included infrared flashlight. It is a very good little illuminator if you plan on doing some ghost hunting inside of a regular sized house or something with semi-long hallways. The built in infrared light doesn't have much of a range at all. It's pretty worthless unless you're filming in a very small room. It's also worth mentioning that both lights will have some incompatibility issues if you are using the included wide angle lens. Part of the lens covers some of the built in IR light and will lead to some shadowing in the top right of the frame. If you use the flashlight with the wide angle lens, there will be some shadowing/ghosting around the entire border of the picture. I recommend either using the IR flashlight with the standard lens or buying a very high quality IR illuminator to pair with the wide angle lens. Any of the pro series Ghost Lights from Colorado Paratech are top notch for that application and are what I use. Regardless of what you use, the image quality is going to be decent, but certainly not perfect. Audio quality: This area is certainly the cameras downfall. The audio is really low quality. No matter what resolution or settings you're recording with, the audio's bitrate is always around 90kbps. That's like INSANELY low and archaic. I'm not entirely sure why the decided to make it this low. No matter what kind of microphone you use, it's always going to sound a little subpar and not very clear. I mentioned earlier how the onboard mic rumbles with movement. If you plan on using the device stationary, the audio is certainly passable. I do, however, recommend using an external microphone. I've tried a few pretty high quality external mics, and they definitely makes the audio very quiet if the mic doesn't have a built in gain setting or Db booster to boost the volume. I found that using a very good digital voice recorder with gain adjustment or using a shotgun mic with gain adjustment works the best. My current preferred one is a Boya BY-BM3031. It had a +20Db setting that boosts the audio volume and makes it more sensitive. I think this is the best way to maximize the cameras limited audio quality without breaking the bank. It also eliminates the noisy rumbling noise you get from the standard mic when in motion. Accessories, etc.: I've already covered how I really like the included IR flashlight and wide angle lens, just not together. Keep in mind the flashlight is powered by a 18650 battery. This isn't something you can just go to any store and buy. I've purchased several UltraFire 18650s in my time and if you get genuine ones from their website, and not eBay, they're probably the of the best you can get. The camera itself comes with two batteries and chargers for those and the flashlight batteries. The batter life on the camera batteries is okay, but I've found some higher capacity batteries online that fit this camera system that can be a little more beneficial. What settings you use will determine how long the camera and flashlight last, but the runtime isn't that bad and won't be too much of a hindrance. The included camera bag and lens covers are nice bonuses, too. Anything to keep the camera protected. I set up the WiFi one time, but it can be a little finicky to connect and stay connected. I can't speak too much on that, nor have I used the included remote, but I wouldn't buy it if the main selling point is the WiFi function. Final thoughts: I can't speak too much on the quality as a still camera, but a lot of the picture deviation between full spectrum and infrared apply to that as well. Slightly more blurry in full spec mode, but usable. Overall, if you want a budget full spectrum camera that functions like a traditional camcorder, this isn't a terrible option. If something like a zoom feature isn't your thing or don't plan on using the full spectrum mode, just standard night vision, there are many better options. I'd look into a GhostStop POV camera or Phasm camera (that actually records in 4K). They're an action camera, GoPro clone. They don't zoom, but have far better picture quality and audio quality and are much more compact. If you do want a traditional camcorder that only does night vision, I'd recommend looking into a Sony handycam or Panasonic night vision camera. They're going to usually not have hotshoe mounts, which can limit attaching accessories, but they're a lot higher quality. You can also use accessory rails if need be. If you're dead-set on a true full spec camera that doesn't have to be modified, this is fine with the proper microphone to fix the audio and an illuminator that will match the wide angle lens. That's the only way I'd recommend it. Just keep in mind, that it is a budget camera and the quality isn't anything that's going to blow you away, but it is certainly something that can be well utilized.

Firstly, It didn't inspire confidence when I opened up the camera and all the contact details had been blacked out on the intro card; my first thought was "MAN I SHOULD HAVE JUST GOTTEN THE HANDICAM!!! I was super wrong. All the extras listed actually came with it, a 512 GB memory stick, 32 GB SD card, Wide angle lens, Nightvision flashlight, flashlight mount, 2 cords, strap, 2 camcorder batteries, charger uhhh i'm probably forgetting something as it felt like Christmas. The Camcorder: It records when you press record and exports to your computer. The Night Vision, Touch Screen, WiFi, Remote all function as expected. I never opened up the instructions. The only downer was the flashlight didn't come with a battery and they're a weird size. I just went ahead and sprung $25 for an actual flashlight of the same brand and 4 rechargeable batteries and charger. Perhaps, the non generic model produces a better quality image but i'm not ever going to know. It's not like i'm taking my full length feature film to the festival or anything. I'm making 5-10 minute movies that are edited on budget software for fun. I'm ubergeeked I gambled the $200. It's exactly what I wanted.

This camera has horrendous sound quality. That is the one thing (aside from not recording occasionally) that bugs me the most. The picture quality is fairly good for a $200 camera. The battery life is fairly short, maybe an hour. The IR light works well, espilecially with the flashlight (when the flashlight actually works). Using an external mic contributes nothing to the sound quality. It still sounds muddy and washed out. I think they just cheaped out on the audio parts for this camera. File transfers are easiest when using an SD card directly to the computer. Plugging in the camera using a cord did nothing. Not a bad value for the price, just don't expect it to work like a name brand camera.

Granted it's a cheap camera. I bought it for the night vision aspect, and it works really well. No battery for the IR flashlight, but a 18650 will work. That works good too. The zoom really isn't the best, but it's cheap. Cannot do close ups, remains blurry. Again, I picked it up for paranormal reasons and for that, it's perfect. I'd buy it again if I needed it for what I plan on using it for. It even has a light for the normal camera, as well as an IR illuminator. Great camera for what I need it for.

UPDATED September 18, 2020 - I’ve replaced the images with better examples. The first two are of a mirror in an allegedly haunted and abandoned house. One is infrared and the other full spectrum. Notice in the infrared shot the wood grain in the mirror’s frame and how much of that detail is lost to full spectrum. Also look at the many lens flares. The next two compares both methods on a staircase in a completely dark house—I could not see my hand in front of me. The last is a full spectrum image from a professional camera. Notice the crisp detail in the leaves. This is how full spectrum should look. UPDATED June 24, 2019 - After using this camera for several months I am changing my recommendation to DO NOT BUY! New information has been added throughout this review in brackets. [I recommend instead any of the Sony night vision cameras that run from $210-$1k. Sony - Handycam CX405 Flash Memory Camcorder - Black] This Zohulu camera comes in a variety of names and custom configurations for different sellers. I liked this particular bundle because it came with two SDHC chips, a great little IR flashlight [which we discovered does not come with batteries or a charger], and a Macro lens that some others didn't have [the macro lens blocks the built in IR light]. You should check around for the bundle that meets your needs. The names can be Ancter, Zohulu, or even Cleveland Paranormal. The main brand is Zohulu, a trademark of ShenZhen PuFeiSi Electronics Co. I spent a lot of time in China looking at digital video systems for security and was very impressed with the Chinese brands of night vision security systems. [In our testing my partner bought a different model, the Ancter and for some reason, it performs better than this one, although it appears to be essentially the same.] AFFORDABILITY - The main struggle with any hobbyist "Ghost Hunter" is money. We do this hobby for the love of the sport and we don't do it for money. For every millionaire plumber doing this, there are tens of thousands of us struggling to pay our bills, So when I evaluate equipment I hold the "value for the money" as the single most important feature. This camera was made for Paranormal work which is what [I thought was] so sweet about it. I can film an abandoned house, switch on the spot to Infrared or with a couple of menu clicks get to the Full Spectrum feature. [I have since learned that full spectrum is a gimmick. If you have an object in focus, then you change the lighting type your object will need to be refocused because the focal point is based on the wavelength of the light. Because ultraviolet is much shorter wavelength than infrared, it is a physical impossibility for a full spectrum shot to be totally in focus. It will always look a little fuzzy. Plus, infrared is a stronger wavelength that tends to wash out the ultraviolet. There is no hard evidence that full spectrum provides any advantage in ghost hunting. People will show you evidence and claim that is their proof of the value of full spectrum, but the image was most likely made with infrared light and tinted purple by ultraviolet. It would have been more clear in pure infrared] I can connect to the camera with my phone and while I leave one downstairs guarding the front door I can watch it on my phone while I'm upstairs. I can review the footage using the camera LCD screen or my iPhone, then easily download it on the spot to my iPhone. Because I am one of those Apple techies, I have the full Apple entourage - a Mac Pro, iPod, and iPad at home. By the time I get home, all my footage has been downloaded to the Mac and to my iPad and iPod automatically. It's inexpensive, it gets the job done [poorly], and it is very well affordable! LENS IMPERFECTIONS - Now for the rest - I am an actor and a cinematographer, I have had films play at SXSW, Tribeca, and Cannes. My favorite camera is my Blackmagic Cinema Camera. Nothing beats it for Mirror Images Phenomenon. Because it records in raw, uncompressed digital negatives, I can adjust all my white balance, ISO, etc at the computer just as if I am still at the mirror with my camera. That camera was $2,000 for the body and $1,000 for the Canon lens. This paranormal camera was $200 for everything. We have to keep that in mind at all points in the review. I only have the Blackmagic because I was filming customer commercials with it. I couldn't afford it otherwise so I was lucky. It doesn't handle infrared so it requires visible light - a real downer for paranormal work. This paranormal camera actually has three lenses. It has the standard lens with an average field of view. It also comes with a Macro lens for super closeup work which is fantastic. Then you add yet another lens on top of that Macro lens to come up with their Ultra-Wide lens configuration. The result is horrific lens flares. See my two pictures. Lens flares are the result of imperfections in the lens glass - round objects will take on a hexagon shape when they get a little out of focus. This is the lens inability to handle out-of-focus light. I'd say those shots above look fantastic for a cinematic choice, but are a disaster for paranormal work. Determining which anomalies are paranormal and which are lens problems can be quite difficult. [after shooting a variety of investigations using other infrared and cinema cameras, I don't bring this one along anymore. The lens problems are extreme.] So I only shoot now with the standard lens which cleans up most but not all of the flares. They make a distinction in their manual that the image is not an infrared image. It has an internal infrared light (which the ultra-wide lens blocks by the way) and pushing the IR button on the back of the camera automatically switches off the infrared filters and turns on the light. The camera looks at the scene and then recreates a black and white image to represent it. At least, that's the way the manual is written. It's an interesting read because the English is very good in the beginning but it looks like the interpreter got tired as she/he worked through the manual. The English started getting worse and by the time it got to the Full Spectrum explanation at the end it was almost unreadable. So it's possible it was a poor translation but the camera doesn't have the traditional greenish hue of night vision, it looks black and white. FULL SPECTRUM - Full Spectrum mode adds a fuzziness or haze to the image. The IR shots are much cleaner than the Full Spectrum. I have tens of thousands of images from investigations with hundreds of apparitions in infrared. I've yet to capture anything in ultra-violet. Full Spectrum is made by merging 3 separate images - one from the near-IR range, one from the visible range, and one from the near-ultraviolet range. That's why the image looks fuzzier, these are different focal lengths shot in one focal plane so of course it would be a little fuzzy. I'm not convinced yet that there is any value to Full Spectrum. IR is a snap, push a button on the back of the camera. When I’m out on a hunt being able to tap one button that turns on the infrared light and switches to black & white mode is sweet. Full Spectrum, however, requires doing that, plus going into the menu settings under ‘Color’, and changing the setting to ‘Vivid’. So for me, I use just the single, built-in lens, and switch between visible light and IR by using the simple push button. This also makes the internal IR light usable again as it is no longer blocked by the wide angle lens. Additional information about full spectrum from Wikipedia says: It is important to note that while the converted camera sensor is capable of recording in both the ultraviolet and infrared region, when mixed light hits the sensor it will be the longer infrared waves that will predominate in the recording. Little or no shortwave ultraviolet light may be recorded unless selective filtering is applied to cut some or all of the infrared light. The longwave infrared light may also wash out a considerable amount of the visible light in the blue and green areas in a full spectrum photograph. Similarly if infrared light is entirely blocked, the visible light can overwhelm the recording of the ultraviolet light. So there is no truly full-spectrum photograph that can be made [with this camera. Good full spectrum cameras exist and the standard method is to shoot the still-subject well-focused three times, with three different filters and merging the 3 images into one. Video requires a complicated method of realtime splitting of the image 3 ways, applying the appropriate filter, then recombining before saving. $$$. This camera has no manual focus, it is set for infinite focus.] ODDITIES, RESOLUTION & FRAME RATE - This is a really strange method, there is no separate setting for frame rate. The rates are matched to the resolution. If you want a higher frame rate, you will have to accept a lower resolution. If you want 4k or 3840 x 2160 you will have to accept 24 frames per second. That's not a problem for me because that's what all my movies are shot at, but I can't match it to my iPhone's 30FPS - just let the editing software figure it out. Another oddity is that for UHD they use the free disk archiver program "DAR" to compress the image to save chip space. It's saved as a 4:3 video on the chip, then the DAR software uncompresses it back to 16:9 format. However, my editing software says this clip is actually 2880 x 2160 @ 24fps. [This probably contributes to the poor quality of the image] The next choice is QHD or 2560 x 1440 and you get this size at 30fps, no other option. Next is FHD or 1920 x 1080 at 60fps. That is standard HD running at 60fps. [In bright light this seemed to produce the best possible video for this camera]. Next is HD or 1280 x 720 @ 120fps. What? 120fps. Crazy. No other choice. Historically I believe that was the first HD format that came out followed quickly by 1920x1080p. Finally, we have VGA or 640 x 480 at 30 fps. What? 30 fps. That's just...weird. It uses JPG for still images and the container is MP4 for video. My editor says it is H.264 compression but my guess is that it's motion jpeg compressed again (barely) by H.264 getting it into the MP4 container, that would make sense. The two samples I provided show the first mistake I made - it's low resolution. Evidently, it defaults to that every time, at least I haven't been able to get it to stay at HD so be sure check it before every shoot. It does provide the recording format symbol on the LCD screen so it's easy to check. The documentation said VGA is 640x480@30fps but my software said it was actually 640x360@30fps. The third picture I uploaded is this UHD format but I cropped it. I simply wanted to show the quality of the image and the fact that it is an infinite depth of field focus. There is NO option for focus either manually or automatically. FACE DETECTING FEATURE - in a poorly documented section it explains that you can enable face detecting, which I assume will then ensure a good focus on the subject. Everything in your image will be more or less in focus, which could be a good thing I suppose for paranormal work. It's often a problem that the key shot is out of focus. Another poorly documented section is METERING. I'm assuming this is how it handles light in the scene, from averaging across many samples to a single point sample, ergo, face detect. Other than Full Spectrum looking fuzzy to me, I have no complaints about the instant focusing of this camera. Having said that, the Zoom lever on the top of the camera is too close to the menu lever. Trying to use your thumb to zoom your lens might accidentally kick it out of video recording mode sending it either the camera mode or menu mode. AUDIO - This is by far the worst feature of the camera. The audio is atrocious. It sounds like you are in a 55-gallon drum sinking to the bottom of the ocean. It's very bad, and it can really mess up your editing too. If you ever have trouble with things getting out of synch, look at the audio. This is a common synch issue across all types of editors. This camera shoots a mono signal, which I could live with but it is a bizarre 32 kHz. CD's and DVD's are 44.1 kHz, iPhones are 48 kHz and my best device, the Zoom H4n records uncompressed WAV files at 96khz. So they decided to record the mono file at 1/3rd of the digital audio of my Zoom. It's horrible. Good EVPs don't need microphones, I've captured many EVPs in experiments with microphones totally disabled.. [But this camera will shred the EVP.]. I've recorded EVPs with the mikes completely removed, so that does work, but I don't get as many EVPs as I normally would. I'm going to try to use an external mike, one that uses its own battery power and another that uses the camera power. This camera, fortunately, has a working hot shoe, so many different attachments from IR lights to external shotgun mikes are possible. I will update this review when I've done that. [I tried using different high-quality microphones, both stereo with adapter plugs for mono and mono microphones. The quality of the microphone makes no difference because the camera shreds it to death when saving it to the chip. I absolutely hate the audio of this camera] DON’T take my word for it! Look at the videos from other reviewers. Blow them up to full screen and look at all the distortion, artifacts and pixelation in the video. The compression destroys the video. Now listen to their audio, don’t skip over it just take a quiet moment and listen to it. It’s abysmal! BATTERY - this bundle comes with two batteries, a regular capacity and a high capacity battery. I used the high capacity battery on a recent investigation and it held up for an hour even using an external IR light on the hot shoe. I had disabled the onboard IR light because most of it is blocked by the wide angle lens. I'm happy that between the two batteries I should be fine. I've learned to leave a complete set of everything, batteries, media, etc out in my car because if the entities kill the batteries in my camera, they will also kill them in my pocket. For some reason, the ones in the car are not touched nor do they do a second attack. I'm usually fine after reloading. SUMMARY - there was a lot of negative in the last few paragraphs, for $200 this is [a terrible buy ]. By managing the issues [I still wish I would have bought one of the Sony handycams]. My final setup is this - I'm recording in UHD at 24 fps. I'm using an external Sony microphone on the top hot shoe that does not draw power, it has it's own battery. I disable the onboard IR light to save battery. I have the spotlight that this bundle comes with mounted underneath the camera. [it did not come with a rechargeable battery nor did it have a charger. I bought a kit with both for $23 off Amazon] I also carry a Zoom recorder in my top shirt pocket to synch to the camera's audio channel. Most of my evidence is then presented using the Zoom audio. If I can start off in visible light I do so, but most times I'm running Infrared the entire time. I can connect to the camera with my iPhone out in the field if needed, checking recorded evidence is a snap. I found that once I get home, it's easier and faster to pull the chip out and stick it in my Mac for downloading. The chip is formated in MS-DOS FAT32. MAC COMPATIBILITY - Once last note about compatibility. One reviewer said it is not supported by Apple, another reviewer said it is supported. They are both right. The files are standard JPG or mp4 files. Any Mac can read them. The SDHC Chip is formatted as MS-DOS FAT 32. Macs can read those too and can indeed reformat them in that format. However, while there is an app that one can use to view and download files onto your iPhone or iPad, they did not make one for an iMac. Further, when you connect the camera to your Mac via the USB connector, it fails to connect. The manual says it is not supported by Mac OS, only Windows or iOS devices such as iPhones. Still, the chip works fine in the chip reader on my Mac. I hope this helps people decide. I hunted for years with the old fashioned Sony Nightshots with tape recorder which destroyed the audio with the tape motor, but the video was superb. Now they are digital and are what I recommend for Ghost Hunters.

Amazing quality for the price. The color night vision isn’t what I thought it would be but still better than the original black and white. Camera comes with everything you could need. The flashlight is below quality tho. Has no battery and you can’t focus the light so you end up a circle in the image. Not good if you’re spirit hunting. Also the wide angle lens that is provided covers the original IR light on the front of the camera.
