Wonder if these work when the camera isn't in IR mode.

yep that's why the glasses use IR lights - invisible to the naked eye but visible/distracting to sensors

This doesn't use visible light - it's IR.

cameras are sensitive to IR and usually have a filter to block it, since it it usually unwanted. you'd need extremely and impractically powerful IR lights to do anything useful.

Or, you know, infrared cameras :)

Does that even work for non-shitty cameras, which have IR filters?

I always wondered if this still worked with a IR/UV camera too...?

Since it isn't an IR camera with illumination, it won't be useable at night, right?

Are you trying it with an IR security camera? If not, it's probably IR filtered.

Why does it need to be a visible light camera? Why not infrared?
