Not strictly electrics I know, but has anyone got any knowledge on the following:
We've all seen the nature programs on the telly, where they film animals & birds in their "natural" habitat, using infrared night cameras. I was wondering, as animals & birds eyes all work in a different way to ours, is direct long term exposure to low level IR potentially damaging to them?
For example: if I wished to set up an IR web cam to monitor my pets (dog, gerbils, cat) could I be doing them harm?
