I don't but it's easy to test, just pick up a TV remote and press a button while pointing it towards the camera. It should look like a flashing white LED.

I should also mention that both IR illuminators and TV remotes are usually either 850nm or 940nm, I have not looked into that aspect of it. I imagine that it's possible that your camera can detect one but not the other...



Thanks, I had no idea about this.

My Google Pixel 8a doesn't show anything on either camera, but my friend's front camera did! It shows up light purple.


My phone goes up to 980nm and it is a Note 9.

Both front and rear cameras work.

The light shows up as a pinkish purple.
