My batteries were a bit weak and the IR illuminator was causing a power brownout glitch while saving the IR image. This corrupted the jpeg.

I made an unboxing video and then realized I needed to understand it a bit better, so I did a bit of a review video. community.element14.com/.../NightVisionUnboxing.mp4 community.element14.com/.../TKKOK-D80-Review.mp4 I had fun learning how this instrument works. It performs better than I expected and has a fairly powerful zoom capability. I do not have any software that can view IR images captured by the camera yet (they have some odd format) but the captured IR videos are viewable in VLC. Overall a very interesting prize.doug wongnight visionir illuminationspy nerdd80tkkok<link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/spynerd/b/blog/posts/snoop-dog-or-snoop-cat?CommentId=c0a84bd5-bcfd-4daa-87eb-3ae95d2bc1a0</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Nov 2021 02:38:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:c0a84bd5-bcfd-4daa-87eb-3ae95d2bc1a0</guid><dc:creator>Gough Lui</dc:creator><description>I believe my issue was actually regarding images which were coming up as Forbidden for me but visible to others and not about videos (if I recall correctly).
