The IR leds are shining bright if they point at the camera and they almost build a small halo and as fast as i turn my head they looked turned of. PS. I got a VX-3000 webcamera and i would rather not take it apart just for checking.

The specs show that the beam angle is only 25 +/- degrees, so filing them down to about a milimeter or 2 above the anode and cathode will greatly increase the angle. Use a fingernail buffer after filing to buff them out to a matted gloss, but not too glossy. I hope this helps! Marcus Edited by marcusw on 18/06/2008 at 19h29. The only way to fly!!!
