Re: [FCP-L] A bit OT: consumer cam with night vision?

 

Rick and Robin,

I definitely need a camcorder with built-in IR
light and short distance it's not a problem. It's
for planting near fox and badger holes and
trails, to register at what times they become
active, after that we will start using better
cameras with remote lights etc. Suggestions for a
dedicated wild life videography forum are welcome
by the way, I couldn't find any.
