  1. Arlo Pro. I know its not commercial grade like you folks install but this is easiest for me. I find that the night vision is not as good. 51cent, how does the adjustable IR light work? Does it permit changing the viewing angles? Meaning I can widen or narrow the range and customize it to the area I want to illuminate? If so, what is the range?
  2. I am a complete novice at IR illuminators but learning slowly. I want to add an IR illuminator to get better night vision on my security cams. What I want to do is to see over a wall which runs parallel to the street. The wall is white so any IR light pointing at the wall will reflect back and illuminate the wall further. I plan to aim it toward the street. The wall is about 15 feet in front of the cam which is mounted about 10 feet high. The wall is about 6 feet tall. I look on amazon and I see IR illumimators selling for anywhere from $12.99 to about $69,99 which seem suitable. Initially I thought the higher price the better but I realize it might be overkill and I wont be able to achive my objective? For example, I bought one at a local store which claims distance of 250 feet. But in testing this out inside my garage and reading the spec sheet I realize and see the emission angle is only 15 feet. So its operating like a bullet. I want a WIDE view illuminated beyond 15 feet and over a wall. I want to be able to see the surface of the street with clarity. For example, if there is trash on the street, I want to see it. Or if there is a suspicious vehicle parked on the other side of the wall, I want to be able to see it. The models I am considering are CM Vision IR15 (60 to 80 feet), http://www.cmvision.co/products/cmvision-cm-ir15-wide-angle-15pc-power-ir-led-illuminator.html IR 110 (60 feet) , http://www.cmvision.co/products/cmvision-cm-ir110-114-leds-200-300ft-long-range-ir-illuminator.html CM IR30 (60 to 90 feet), http://www.cmvision.co/products/cmvision-cm-ir30-60-90degree-view-without-power-supply-ir-illuminator.html IR 40 (60 to 90 feet), http://www.cmvision.co/products/cmvision-ir40-wideangle-120-feet-4pc-power-led-ir-array-illuminator.html If you have other suggestions, I am also open. Just not familiar with this and want to buy the right illuminator for my needs. Thanks in advance!
