And apparently you need 840nm and not 940nm for digital night vision https://youtu.be/oKwiWIFVsck

xDom wrote:There’s plenty of articles on 850nm vs 940nm ( not just for hunting but for all the other IR uses ). They seem to suggest as I stated before. 850 gives you more visibility but 940 hides the location of the IR source.
