Oh, I hope the solution won't involve going to white light.

The Nkorho IR setup is very capable of providing beautiful, clear night views when the settings/lighting are correct.

Thanks for the update, Campbell. Summer in North America is particularly difficult with the shorter days in Africa. Night view is all we really have for those like me who go to work in the morning. Can't stay up late for sunrise and well after sunset by the time we get home.

I'm curious about something, though. I wonder if it would be possible to go with standard white lighting and normal cam settings....similar to what Pete's Pond has. The view area is reduced, but the quality goes way up. Reduces "guess the blob" situations.

Thank you, Campbell, for taking the time to share this with us!

Rog.. thanks, but was just inquiring if the lens cover had been replaced yet.

Karen............I don't think the cracked lense/cover has any effect on the picture quality.  The crack simply means a bit of white light may sneak out, and therefore it can be seen, but the illumination should be just the same.

Thanks for sharing Campbell.
Is the light cover still cracked and not replaced as of yet? And just so we may have an idea, will it take a while before it is able to be replaced?

Thanks bunches for the update.

Karen

Campbell, Thank you so much for the update on the ir light as I am also another nocturnal North American.

Campbell - thank you so much for the update.  As one of the nocturnal viewers who TRIES not to complain too much (  ), I know a better night view will make for better snaps & easier ID of our visitors.  Gotta love those babs!

Thank you!  Appreciation from one of the nocturnal North American viewers!
