Infrared Camera Trouble Shooting Ir Lights Not Working?

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

infrared-led-lights-troubleshoot










Ok so you have either a new infrared bullet, dome or ptz camera and your infrared LED lights are burning, not burning or are burning weak! Here are a few things we are going to say that you should consider. First, it could be something really small or you are looking at a total failure in internal circuitry. So first make sure your power supply or power supply distribution box is giving you the right amount of amperage. With your stock or factory power supply, you need to make sure that amount of amperage is delivering enough juice to help those LED bulbs burn. If not this could due two things: one burn out the lights, or short the lights. It needs to be just right! Also if your power supply box has too many infrared security cameras that are drawing 1amp or more, your box may have ran out of enough amperage to deliver the right amount of power to all your cameras. This will result in a short in multiple security cameras. So if you are testing an individual camera now and it seems like it is weak or the infrared lights will not power on, the camera has been severely damaged and you will have to replace the whole camera. The internal circuitry for most infrared security cameras are very complex and contains high-voltage electricity, so do not open the camera it is dangerous. We do repair security cameras here, so if you need to, call our technical support and purchase a support ticket and get your camera looked at, we just may have the parts you need to have your cameras repaired.


Infrared Camera Disadvantages

We have some strange questions that come through by email and to our site from Google daily. However, this topic is an interesting one! Infrared cameras have been posing problems for people who try to integrate security cameras with infrared lights indoors. It is very difficult to use infrared cameras indoors! The main reason why is due to the reflective surfaces that are in many environments. In residential applications, most try to point an infrared camera to look through a window and this will end in a video washout. By washout, we mean that the infrared LED lights will reflect off the window and shoot back at the camera. This is the biggest problem with infrared cameras. In business applications there are many reflective surfaces like stainless steal counters, glass doors that lead into a retail front or small office. High powered infrared security cameras will washout from these reflective surfaces. Also if you are going to use infrared cameras indoors, you don’t want to put them into small boxy style rooms. Again, infrared LED lights are bright and powerful and they will bounce off unfriendly surfaces or environments. If you have an open area free of reflective surfaces, windows and other objects, then you can use an infrared camera indoors. However, we still recommend using infrared cameras outdoors. Infrared cameras can burn freely in outdoor environments, they can beam in any direction without any interference. If you have any more questions regarding infrared cameras indoors, be sure to call our 800 line and ask speak with a CCTV consultant. A consultant can walk you through a brief protocol to determine if you can use an infrared camera indoors!
