Can you DISABLE the Night Vision on a security Camera?

best security camera with night vision image

Jhgjh

I have two wireless security cameras, but both have night vision LED's inside that light up, I wanted to turn those off but still record, so that the camera does not gives its self away despite that the video will be very dark, because its near a street light anyway. Can this be done? There is no switch or buttons on it, so is there a way?


Thanks

Answer
Security cameras that use IR light are what you need if you wish to have an area under surveillance without giving away the fact that a camera is viewing the activity. IR is invisible

On the other hand, preventing theft or damage is really better than capturing someone in the act on video.

It is up to you, but I would think that motion detecting bright lights a AND a camera would reduce vandalism

How do I prevent my security camera from getting blinded by a red laser?

I just purchased a night vision security camera to be used outside and it's weakness is that it gets completely blinded by a red laser. How do I avoid this or modify it so that the laser doesn't affect it?

Answer
Best is to position the camera in such a way that this can be avoided. Red laser blinds the camera not because of the color but because of the intensity in a small area. Even if you use a filter, it won't help much and with the new laser pointers of different colors it can be even more difficult to use a filter.
