Can you tell me why only one of the sets of IR lights come on. When looking thru the lens the right hand side illuminates, but not the left???

This is an interesting question. It appears that the reason you can only see the right side through the lens is that apparently only the right side lights up. Of course you can check for sure by looking at it from the outside (not through the lens) to see whether both sides are lit. After receiving your question, I checked my unit and found that only the right side lights up. There's no indication that there might be a sensor to read the light and perhaps switch on the left side in very low light situations. It appears to me that the left side light group is a fake and that only the right side works. Nonetheless, my unit works exceptionally well with just the right side lights so I am not concerned with the fake lights (if they are fake) on the left side. Someone else indicated that the left side lights are on but are so dim as to not be visible. I would have to check this at night to confirm but it does seem plausible because the switch is supposed to provide two levels of light.

I could get the IR lights to come on but the camera didn't seem to work in the dark even with them on. Followed instructions from a u tube video. If you look at the watch thru your cell phone camera in the dark you will be able to see the IR lights if they are coming on.

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

Good Question - I don't know. I assume you ended up with two copters with the same infrared frequency? - If it were me I'd start by taking off the cowling/windshield( careful with LED connections) and see if there is a switch- My guess is that it is One of three different components that get built into the circuit board that read different IR patterns..... let me know what you find out - Thanks= Kent in Buffalo

You have to carefully pop the red lens off of the the black portion and the batteries are placed on either side of the flashing LEDs. Polarity is marked on the battery slots.

There is probably either too much ambient light in the room or the IR Leds are reflecting off some nearby surface and fooling the light sensor into thinking there is plenty of light in the room (thus turning off the IR Leds). You could try placing a bit of tape or something semi-transparent over the light sensor and see if that helps. Or as a quick test, while it's flickering, place your finger over the sensor and see if the IR Leds stay on (night vision mode). If it's too close to some surface, move it further away. If those suggestions don't work, the camera may be defective.

Agreed, no visible sign the camera is running. To notice the ir lights it would have to be really really dark. From my yard at night on a new moon I still can't see the ir lights.

The camera light sensitivity is very good and in anything other than complete darkness, the image will be viewable. Be sure to change the camera from color/color to color/BW so you get better night time images. If you want to use an IR illuminator (many can be purchased cheaply) then the camera will be able to see the IR illuminated images. Why did the camera not come with IR illumination? Because it's a PTZ and illuminating isotropically is not practical. It can't be on the camera since the dome would reflect the IR back to the lens and you wouldn't see anything beyond the dome glare. It's not an oversight. If you need IR illumination, just add it in the locations you are interested in viewing. Very simple to do and much more effective than a far-souce IR illuminator.

The IR light gives away the cameras position. Try Wildgame blackout. Small and no lights to give away it's position

Right. The lamps produce light that is constant. These lights are not triggered by the camera's flags or an IR device.

We got two that had different lights colors. They sent us a new light component. That fixed the light problem but the plastic shells were different. They sent us two new ones free of charge. We now have three that match. They were super nice and understanding. Send a photo, you will probably get two more. God luck.

Not sure - there could be problems with the infrared sensor - a good question for the manufacturer.

Usually one of the infrared LED's has gone bad. If you are a tinkerer, you can open the top and replace the Infrared LED emitter LED. You can compare it with the other LED's by using a cellphone camera or digital camera to see if the emitter LED is dim. Usually the main one in the middle is the culprit as it is used more. Hope that helps!

When my grandson thought his light wasn't working I discovered that the lens was not aligned properly and thus was hiding the light. A small twist and there was light This may not be your problem but it's worth checking

should be a switch and red LED on back of unit, If you look closely at through front plastic you should also see a row of about six transmiter LEDs glowing lightly.If the power light is lit then check that the hedphones are facing IR unit on the correct A/B channel and that you are giving the IR unit a good audio signal (volume is no all the way down at source)

If one side is lighting, that indicates that they are receiving power. If one side is out, the lights must be defective. The fact that one side is out on both lights at the same time is unusual. There are only two posibilities I can think of. 1 - Both lights are from the same manufacturing run and both failed or 2 - you have a voltage problem and it blew iut the first section. If you can get a voltmeter, check your voltage. If its over 14v, its too high. Either way, return the lights.

sometimes if we put the wrong DC to the IR controller that will have an effect on the output. second, like a lot of other electronics, modems especially. unplug the IR controller so the lights have no power and take out the battery of the hand held R. controller give a minute or so and re connect. sometime a lower voltage or amp power supply can fix this as well. I hope this helped. Frank
