Unclear on the concept: Night-vision Webcam

So let's get this straight: Night-vision devices are supposed to help you see things in the dark, like those night dart launchers, right? Not the other way around? That's what we thought, anyway, so we have no idea why anyone would want a "Night Vision WebCam."

This 1.3-megapixel camera has six infra-red LED bulbs "to light any video conversation no matter how dark the conditions may be," Coolest-Gadgets says. Silly us--we would have just turned on a lamp.

Maybe this would be useful in a dorm if you're trying not to wake your roommates. Or maybe there's some other use that we'd just as soon not know about.

server room Monitor

We need something like this at my work to monitor our server room. I was able to sneak into the server room and simulate unplugging stuff and the cameras we have really could not see anything or recognize who I was as long as I had the lights off.

These are good to monitor a baby when they are sleeping. If they are crying and you don't want to go in there to see if something is wrong you can check the camera to see if something ACTUALLY is wrong.
