Lost advert for infra red camera - help!! (1 Viewer)

I saw an advert in a magazine a short while ago for an infra red digital camera priced at about £299 to take snap shots to see what's around in your garden at night. It wasn't the kind of camera like the bird box type. I am slowly being driven mad because I cannot find the magazine! I think it was on a top left hand page and would probably have been in Birdwatching magazine or The Garden although I occasionally have BBC Wildlife and Birds Illustrated. I also have a few 'home' type mags but I think it unlikely to be in one of those.

I have waded through piles of the things and no luck so if anyone thinks they know the ad I'm referring to please point me in the right direction as I am slowly going insane!

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Amelia,

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for as it does not say it is an infra red camera but it appears to have a night mode.

It is on page 16 of the August edition of Bird Watching magazine.

Good luck, I hope you find it

The CMOS sensor in many of the digital cameras will respond very nicely to infrared, so it is a widely available feature, provided the optics don't block that light.Ask your camerashop expert or take a picture of yourself in the dark.
Do note however that IR sensors give much less resolution, so a bird at night might be a bright spot on the screen, without much shape and without any color.
For 300 Sterling one should get a good camera, so beware that it is not some scam hyping the IR capability to move a dud product.
