Does an IR cam use a flash? I've read things about them being better for security reasons. I alwaysassumed that they used a red flash, but do they use a flash that humans and animalscan't see?

Thanks,

I have a Leaf River IR. The red IR lights light up and you can see the red lights on the cam but they do not project a visible light, at least that I can see, but you definitely do see the red lights themselves.

If you are thinking about this for security reasons, the red light does not produce a flash but a person could see the red lights come on if they were looking in the direction of the camera, and to get a good picture of them they would have to be pretty close to the camera.

Thank you!

That's pretty muchhowI figured it worked.

You'd have to be looking right at the cam to see the red glow.
