Well this is new.. Low Bat Light in IR

[Murby]

So my kid was driving the golf cart around the property today and when done, parked it right in front of the camera in the back yard.

The IP Camera feeds to my computer and has a night mode. Its totally black outside so the camera switches to IR.

Anyhow, I heard a noise so checked the camera on my PC and I see the Low Battery indicator light is flashing. Seems to flash "high low high low high low" for about 4 seconds, then completely off for less than 1 second, the back to flashing again.

I'm thinking, wow, she must have done a lot of driving, better get it on the charger right away..

But when I go out to the cart, there is no yellow light.. the light is off. Come back to the PC and its still flashing.. back to the cart, light is off.

For some reason, that light is flashing in Infrared.. which is why the camera can see it but my human eyes can not.

Anyone know anything about this?

I figured it out..

It is an infrared LED that sends a signal to something called an optional communications display module. Whatever that is.

How strange.
