Camcorders Lamp
Can a normal camcorder detect infrared light?
I have some camcorders that do not have “night shot” or a built-in infrared lamp. If I get an external IR lamp will these camcorders be able to detect it? They’re all Panasonics–SDR-S26, SDR-S26K, SDR-H85, HDC-HS250P, and PV-GS250.
yes and no. All normal camcorders and digital cameras can detect IR light. For that reason they all have IR blocking filters to prevent having false colors in normal conditions. In a few models, the filter can be defeated to create “nightshot” effects, but not the Panasonics. Some hackers are willing to do surgery on their camera to forcibly and permanently remove the filter that is located on the CCD sensor. not really a good idea. some cameras have a poorly functioning filter and pickup some IR light. to test yours, point a television remote control at the camera lens and see if there is a light when the buttons are pushed.
