The IR lights are on all of the time for some reason although for nest boxes, this is not a problem… Taking this lens well beyond its design specification, it will focus down to 1mm or thereabouts (the quality at the edges starts to fade a little by then but who cares when you can do this and the front of the lens starts to come into focus)… In all, an excellent bird box camera.”
