I purchased this to replace a burned-out module. I had to do some filing to make it fit my housing but managed. My camera outputs 12 VDC and is plug-compatible. Polarity was correct on my unit.The IR LEDs are indeed invisible to the naked eye. My smartphone detected the IR as a deep purple color. Output is sufficient for my application.

Item didn't turn on and I tried to find out why.The illuminator comes with a CDS photocell (light sensor) and a small Molex socket to probe the Light Dependant Resistor value. The value was always zero, independent of environmental light. Why? Because the pins of the Molex connector were shorted. I tried to fix the falty solder job, but it turns out the pins are connected on the PCB itself. (see photos)I had to remove the entire light sensor in order to make the illuminator work, but now it doesn't switch off during the day. Terrible quality, zero quality control. :(

This worked very well. The only thing that was wrong is the wire harness that comes with it has the positive/negative wires reversed. Also worth mentioning i thought mine was defective even though I knew the wires were reversed because I was covering up the light sensor with my fiber to see if the power supply i had would be sufficient and it wasn't powering on because you can't use your finger to block the light from the sensor, you have to use something like tape.That being said I have a 1st gen nest cam that the Ir light doesn't work on anymore hence this purchase and this is WAY brighter than the stock led's with the added benefit of not being able to see the low red flow from 850nm leds.

Bought this to work up-close with an near IR video camera. When powered there was a slight bump in the image from pitch black only. By comparison, using other near IR LEDs, the image would go from black to near saturation when the LED was powered. So it works... but not useful in this application.
