Camera Lighting Equipment

can i buy infra red lighting for a cctv camera?

i have a couple of cctv cameras that dont have infra red, great during the day or when lights are on but pitch black at night.

1. befor you buy a infra red lighing system, you might want to check that your cemra can actually pick up the infra red light. one easy way is at night have someone watch the camera on TV and the other person go outside with a remote control and point it strait at the camera and press some buttons to see if any flashing lights come up, if they dont then forget the infra red lighiting, if they do, check on ebay, www.maplins.co.uk or www.dabs.co.uk (might be .com not sure)
2. The answer above is near enough right , not all cameras work in the infra red range try here they are not that dear http://www.challenger.co.uk/productSelect.asp?catID=5&subcatID=24
