IR And A Babies Sight From TV Monitors With IR Lamps ?
IR And A Babies Sight From TV Monitors With IR Lamps ?
Hello,
I imagine some of you foilks might have an opinion on this -
There are many offerings these day for TV monitors to watch a babies room
while they sleep.
They all seem to offer IR lamps to flood the room with IR so that the TV
camera can observe the child in total blackness.
Have there been any articles regarding the eyesight safety implications to a
baby in an IR flooded room ?
Opinions on ?
Looked, but couldn't find anything. A bit surprising; I would have thought
that there would at least be articles or opinion the safety implications for
eyesight.
Thanks,
Bob

Re: IR And A Babies Sight From TV Monitors With IR Lamps ?
Hi, I actually feel that you (or others) are needlessly concerning
yourselves with the dangers of infrared. I googled it and I couldn't
find any severe effects of long-term exposure to infrared radiation
and all I could find was that it may cause overheating. Apart from
that, I found a great host of websites that actually extolled the
presence of IR in the atmosphere, claiming numerous health benefits,
probably some exaggurated but on the whole they seemed to be
recommending it instead of warning against it. As for why you would
want to have a TV to spy on your baby 24/7 is a mystery to me. Like
some kind of boogie monster is going crawl out of the curtains and
gobble them up in the night time or something? Humans and parents have
gone thousands of years without needing to keep a constant watchful
eye over their children while they were sleeping, so why start now?
Seems like parents are just getting more paranoid of midnight
attackers that they heard from scare induction programmes like
crimewatch and so on. Really, it's daft. Anyway, these were a few of
my sources for what I said above:

Please note that the author of this statement is allegedly 16 years

Yeah, but I have loads of relatives and friend's who are parents and
do father/mother several children and I haven't seem them ever worry
like lunatics about what might happen to their baby during the night.
Your mileage may vary.

Another thing I want to add that if infra-red rays actually did pose
any threat to a person's eyesight, we would have surely heard of it
long ago, whether by conjecture and anecdote or by clinical study.
Besides, we're practically always exposed to them, since almost every
object emits some infrared, including human's themselves, not to
mention that natural everyday sunlight we come into contact with for
most of our lives gives it off in high intensity. I have not heard one
single case of the slightest ocular damage, let alone alone serious
defects such as blindness or whatever, resulting from direct IR
radiation. That says a lot by itself! So to sum things up, no I don't
think there is any real life or rational/realistic danger that could
result from a baby's room being flooded with infrared, any more than
there are dangers from walking down a long spiral of stairs or from
going for a casual jog around the block.

While not relevant in this particular instance, there is considerable
evidence that infra red can have therapeutic value. Appears to act as a
mitochondrial agonist.

About infrared safety: infrared is harmless unless its intensity is
extremely high, which might occur if you are a glassblower, or
somebody working with infrared lasers. Just to check you might hold
your hand in front of the IR-lamp. If the lamp burns a hole in your
skin, it might damage your eyes as well.
