I have a couple of south facing security cameras that I  have tucked under the soffits of my high desert cabin so they don't get baked by the high desert sun. The tradeoff for this is that I am getting glare off the soffit from the camera's built-in IR LED arrays which spoils the night vision image quality. I am thinking of purchasing some external IR LED arrays to solve this problem.

I found a positive review of this illuminator, but I got a little worried when I saw the FCC part 15 warning prominently displayed in the user manual:

https://www.amazon.com/CMVision-IRP12-850nm-WideAngle-Power-Illuminator/dp/B00Q156IPE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1503002750&sr=8-1&keywords=irp12-850&linkCode=sl1&tag=stf03-20&linkId=1ea87920d2d4d067e723c3100182acbe

I am not aware of any interference from the IR LED arrays that are built into the cameras, but just in case these illuminators are more problematic I thought I would run this by the reflector before I press the "add to cart" button.

Thanks,

Mike W4EF.................
