Jeff, I think the new cameras must be able to see a higher wave length of light and probably operate at about 940 nm I'm guessing. My IR lights operate at 850 nm, which allows the red glow to be seen by the eye, even though there is no illumination cast upon the ground. The glow is very faint, but is still visible if up close and looking directly into them. Off to the side or at a distance you can't see them. If the new cameras operate well at the covert end of the light spectrum, then that will be great. I imagine soon we will begin to hear reviews about them.
Off topic a bit, but what I would like is for my Gen 1 night vision scope to be able to see well at 940 nm. That would provide stealth and be invisible. That way I could use IR lights at the bait site and coyotes could not see any illumination. However, to my understanding, the Gen 1's just don't see well with high frequencies. I am currently in the process of testing some IR military filters that I purchased. These are made specifically to cover the headlights of vehicles. These filters are glass and won't melt like some of the other filters do. If they work with my Gen 1 scope as I am hoping they will, it will be the cat's meow.
