Many cameras have very obviously visible IR LEDs. Whereas the SD59225U-HNI from the cliff notes, or what looks to be the same picture, the 5930IC, claim to have 4 LEDs, but I can't identify the LEDs in the photo, see attachment. Can someone let me know where they are? Or are these generic photos that don't show the real product?

If you have one, walk up to it at night and use your smartphone's camera and point the camera right at the CCTV camera, you should see the CCTV camera's lights as bright lights on your smart phone's display.

It didn't work, I pointed my iPhone at my Dahua PTZ and could not see the IR lights, I tried several other cameras as well.

Yes I can see those IR lights but I assumed I will see the actual IR from a smartphone like how you would if you point an IP camera at another IP camera with IR :facepalm:
