Hi, is it possible to control when the IR LED’s are on, i understand they are quite power hungry and would not want the LED’s to be on all the time , or do they only come on when taking a picture ?
I think those IR LEDs are powered directly of the 5v supply to the camera - through the PCB mounting bolts joining the LED modules to the Camera module. The only control is the light-dependant resistor (red tube) adjacent to each LED body so they only come on at night.
This would make sense for surveillance camera duty but not for intermittent use.
Ok, thank you , that is a pity
