Hi mate welcome to the forum.
Iv got that camera.
The more i play with it the better it gets.
Lower the gain to get a crisp picture.
I will say that camera seems to pick up the 940nm almost as well as the 850nm.

thanks for that and all the other friendly replies , i am just beginning to understand what its all about i was given the shopping list from a very kind gentleman from another forum and have been surprised that it was not more demanding , hopefully i wont find the need to improve it all the time :roll:

Your on the right track mate.
With the bits you got already you cant go far wrong.
Yes you could have spent £40-£80 more on a camera but honestly i dont think you would gain more then 5-10% more distance and that can be gained with a different Ir set up if needed.
