Re: CCTV camera

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It should be possible to disable the IR LED's on the camera - either by
masking them with some opaque insulating tape/paint or by removing the
power to them - (aka snipping one lead or the whole thing off) .  You
may even be able to fool the night sensor into thinking it's day if that
holds the LED's off. However night performance of cheaper cameras is
usually quite poor - and very sensitive units cost very sensitive
prices. If you have a well lit scene it may be adequate of course.
