O.W.L. IR-Specific FAQs

Q: I can’t tell if my O.W.L. IR is on or off.
A: Since the O.W.L. IR emits infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, you can check its status using most smartphone or camera devices. Here’s how:

  1. Activate your O.W.L. IR.

  2. Point a smartphone or digital camera at the light while in a dim or dark area.

  3. Look for a faint purple or red glow through the camera’s screen, indicating the light is active.
    If you’re still unsure, remove the batteries to ensure the light is off when not in use.

Q: My drone camera is not seeing the O.W.L. IR light. What can I do?
A: Ensure your drone camera is equipped with an IR (infrared) sensor capable of detecting 940nm wavelengths. If the camera supports IR but isn’t picking up the O.W.L. IR:

  1. Confirm the light is activated by testing it with a smartphone or digital camera (as described above).

  2. Make sure the drone’s IR settings are properly enabled and configured for the operation.

  3. Check for obstructions or interference, such as bright environmental lighting, that might affect IR visibility.
    If issues persist, test the O.W.L. IR with another IR-compatible device to verify its functionality. For further assistance, feel free to contact us.
