Default IP camera and IR LEDs

"." declared for all the world to hear...

Hello,

A few weeks ago I posted about using an IP camera as a baby monitor and
commented that it didn't do so well in low-light conditions.

Due to a fault with my ISPs news servers I've had to unsubscribe and re-
subscribe to all groups and I've lost all the posts.

Someone suggested that I place some IR LEDs in the room to improve
things in zero light. I would like to learn more about this but don't
have a vast amount of time, therefore can anyone tell me about it here
or point me to a web resource?

The camera is a linksys WVG54C. A supplier of LEDs might also help.

Thanks

940nm and above is invisible so no red glow.


OK I understand the principle of IR etc, but if I simply stick an array
of IR LEDs or an IR lamp in the room my camera will be able to "see" in
the dark then?

Is it really that simple?
