Hi All, I am trying to find out whether I can use an ir illuminator with the Itronics 100 because I need to find a solution to no light/ low light recording. I have just purchased one but because I expect it to take three weeks I want to confirm the above sooner rather than later. If anyone could try the following test I would be grateful. (I didn't write it btw)
There is a simple test that you can do to see if your camcorder can use IR light. Turn on your camcorder and take it and a remote control into a dark room. Make sure the remote is working. Point the remote at the camera lens and push a button a few times. If your camcorder can use IR light, then you should see a bright flashlight-like beam in your viewfinder or screen. If you see nothing , then your camcorder is not night vision capable and can't use any IR lights.
As a side point I presume that due to the compact size of these dash cams and in particular the Itronics 100 the ir filters can't be removed or modified?
