Hi all, I'm trying to figure out a good easy setup for a baby monitor, I've got a pi4, pi camera 2 noir, but it's too dark to see anything by itself, and it feels like I'm leaving the plug & play zone where I could just google & program, and am entering the buy an LED and solder zone, which scares me. Any suggestions?

Can’t speak to how well it will work.

But if you are looking for IR led solutions, a quick search online brought up some options. So you can purchase them and just wire them up.

Random option from amazon

    Yeah it's the "just wire them up" part that I'm not confident in, how do I do that? Is there something that just plugs in my pi? I've got one that does but the LEDs get hot (70C) and are probably too strong (as in, potentially eye damaging territory)
