Question by John Doe: Do infrared (IR) cameras (i.e. security cameras used in low light conditions) pose a risk to human eyes?
I have an infrared camera installed in my 9 mo old daughter’s room so we can check on her in her crib during naps & at night. I’ve never heard of them posing a risk, but I’ll throw that question out there & hope someone who ‘knows’ can share their two cents. Can an IR camera damage the human eye if it’s on in dark conditions and they unknowingly look at the emitted lights?

Answer by millionby2008
The answer is no. Just like it is with low lights when reading, watching TV, on the computer, etc. Each of these things are not easy on the eyes though. In the case of these examples, low light will cause strain and fatigue. Making the eyes tired. A child doing homework would do a better job if he/she doesn’t feel tired. Low lights will make the child feel tired and not able to concentrate as well.

The risk is even less when you talk about a small IR light. The pupils will dilate in order to try and see as it would in any low or dark situation. I would only worry about this if your child is loosing sleep. It is a good question though. As night lights are not good for children. As a child is developing, the less strain the better for the childs development. Simply put, healthy environment or not.
