INFRARED ILLUMINATIONThe NightShot is equipped with an active infrared emitter; it emits an invisiblebeam of near-infrared light. The beam of light exiting the emitter is not visibletohumanoranimaleyesbut isdetectedby theNightShot sensor.AlsonoticethatwhilethelightemittingfromtheIRisinvisible,thediodedoesglowinsidetheemitterandcanbedetectedfromadistance.Extensivetestingconcludesthatanimalsarenotinfluencedbytheglowoftheinfraredemitter.
Do not look directly into the IR emitter at close range. The IR, while not visible, is still a bright light. As with any bright light, avoid pointing directly into your eye.
