dc.description.abstract	The TIFR near-infrared camera (TmCAM) is based on the SBRC InSb focal plane array (58x62 pixels) sensitive between 1-5 pm. TIRCAM had its first engineering run at Gurusikhar 1.2 meter PRL telescope at Mount Abu during March-April 2001. The first light observations with TmCAM were quite successful. Several infrared standard stars and the 'Irapezium Cluster in Orion region were observed. in the J, H and K bands. In a narrowband at 3.9 pm (nbL). some bright stars could be detected from the Gurusikhar site. The performance of TmCAM is discussed in the light of preliminary observations in nbL band.	en
