Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

So, I finally installed my IR emitter a couple of weeks ago, purely for LPR purposes as my camera is positioned in a letterbox behind glass. I needed a little extra IR. Anyway, I didn't have the option to have it at height and was forced to put it a ground level. It took me a bit of time to best work out how to actually install it but the images should give you an idea what I did. It does work, I'm getting more hits on licence plate numbers both front and rear. In time I will be installing 2 or 3 garden lights along where the emitter is installed, so hopefully it won't stand out as much. Having said that, my misses hasn't noticed it yet.

Yesterday, my misses asked me what that solar panel thingy is in the front lawn.

Was pondering grabbing a different illuminator earlier and thought I'd come here and check what was being used. Glad I did!

Yesterday, my misses asked me what that solar panel thingy is in the front lawn.

I never thought about it, but I bet most people would mistake it for a small solar device during the day if it is mounted on the ground and/or away from any CCTV cameras.
