Hopefully you won't think this a dumb question, but is the CCTV cameras night vision compatible (i.e. capable of utilizing the infrared light for illumination)? What is the viewing angle of the lens on the camera? What distance do you want to cover?

Yes they are for night also asn there pretty goo to 120 on the angle and 100 ft out front.I just want to improve the night light.O and yes they are color also.The 4 camaras and the dvr was a lil over 2 grand.Its nice but i just wanr to upgrade a lil.Motion sensors and much more.123 securitys is the web page lots of neat gagets.

Rat,
I have a friend that use to do a lot of security and video survellance work. If you want, let me know what camera brand and model you have, I'll ask him what the best IR model would work for you.
