What interferes with IR signal?
Information. Any device or lighting mechanism that outputs an infrared (IR) signal can affect the performance of the IR sensor on your Promethean hardware. Examples of these are IR door lock mechanisms, IR scanners, remote controls, fluorescent lighting and direct sunlight.
