homemade Infrared camera

[inspectorcritic]

Thanks for the smart tip can you beef it up to detect reptilians? see you tube reptilians.

[manugulati12]

It didn't work for me even though my cam is sensitive to ir light.

[anupamvipul233]

don't try this is only a negative effect try this at night u will get proof if u really want to use cam as a night vision try removing ir filter in cam but without it dont try it at day image will burn

[Argo108]

@anupamvipul233 Does it also work with cellphone camera? Also, i open my camera, remove the IR filter from the lense and that's it? You say like this it will burn during the daylight but if I put the film it should be fine no? since it filters all light except IR and shielding the newly naked lense on the camera. no?

[anupamvipul233]

may be cmos is sensitive to Ir but ccd is not by removing ir filter u r using all the ir sensitivity your cam has but to make more out of it u will need Ir flash in day your way may work may not try slowly going to out side from low light and u will see @Argo108 

[WhatSayestThou]

Thanks for the vid. Anyone that can't figure out what to do had to have been born yesterday.

[gunzfactory]

could you just use a lens from some sunglasses?

[ballores]

read the bit about putting in 35mm negative after putting my camera back together arse

[IN5HANE]

why do you need 2?

[s7r1k30u7]

ones not enough

[stinkoman622]

how do i know if my video camera is sensitive to ir light?

[SolidFrameProduction]

just get a remote with IR and shine it in your lens. If you're able to see the light then you camera is sensitive to IR- light

[lookwhoneedsahobbie]

@stinkoman622 take a remote and use it on ur camera and the light bulb on the end that normally doesnt light up should light up on your camera

[virash]

nice ; )

Your examples were well chosen to show the differences between things seen in visible light and in IR.

I did something similar after coming across instructions for my webcam model. In that case it required removing the inbuilt IR-blocking filter first, before replacing it with a piece of film (like your mod). Without either in place, it was sensitive to both IR and visible light.

The results were interesting to look at but poor quality because it was a poor camera in the first place.

[NotATube]

But no worse than those in visible light.

But if I hadn't removed the original IR-blocking filter, the sensitivity would have been very low with the IR-pass/film on top.

I believe that IR-sensitive/"night" cameras like yours move their IR-blocking filters out of the way when that mode is selected. (If it was removed all the time, the IR mixed with daylight would look weird). Makes life easier.

[NotATube]

So still and video cameras without a "night" mode will require their IR-blocking filters removed.

Problem is that depending on the lens assembly, this can be quite hard. It was easy on my webcam because it the design was simple (i.e. cheap to build!)

[GuruAthos]

damn!! It works!! I saw my naked neighbor!!

[BABBYGORILLA73]

you should see if it will see through a womans dress!!!!!!

[Pimp916800]

SO if I have a regular Jvc video camera with no infrared night vision....by doing his it will have infrared night vision???

[bakonfreek]

and... does this help to see in the dark, cause I don't want to break my camera if it don't help

[kiakun]

dude its a x ray camera

[Natovr7]

no.. its an infrared camera

and it will work, it detects heat (so it can see warm stuff at night).. wont break your camera. you only put it in front of the camera's eye ;)

[bakonfreek]

sooo... all I need to do is hold the film piece up to my lense?

[aeroscope]

COOL

[lynusluver]

What other shit can you see through with those..hmmmm?lol

[stevo351]

ok... so, im not sure what id use this for... im wanna make one but im not sure what this is actually allowing my camera to do...?

[TheLangfords]

Hi, I'm from Instructables - if you register there (for free), you can post this video in the comments of the original project that you followed.

I happen to know that the site owners love this kind of response, and always welcome people that make stuff.

[lara336]

wasn't really my idea. I saw a guy on instructables doing the same thing and decides to make a video of it. Basically, you find some processed film negatives, and cut out the black end with no film on it. You do this twice and use scotch tape to your lens. Make sure you test this in plenty of light or all you will see is black. Also, it is a good idea not to point it directly at the sun. It may damage your camera.

[NotATube]

And *never* look at the sun with your own eyes through the film. Not only will it pass the IR light (obviously), giving no protection, but because the v.bright visible light is blocked, your eyes will open more, letting in even more damaging IR. :O

[Timbo17932]

how do you get it to work!!!! please have more detailed instructions!!

[fucktuphardcorekid]

I love you :D

[00o0o0o0o0o0o00]

Your sentences were perfectly written, you just misspelled the word "those" - but who cares, this is fucking awesome! Thank you for making and posting this!!! This is the ultimate UFO hunter's tool.

[lara336]

The camera just has to be able to see infrared, not be an infrared one. Adding the film helps to block all other light except infrared.

[dilesh007]

sorry, bt i dont quite get it. The camera has to be a infrared one in the 1st place right? so how does the film contribute?

[lara336]

Wow, you really don't know how to read. Those instructions were easily readable.

[Raptor13x]

For the love of God, please learn how to spell. I had to read each sentence in that video 5 or 6 times before I was able to translate it into English.

Cool idea though.

[stevo351]

man your comment made me laugh heaps.

[ultracolor]

hey I'm back you be carefully now..I don't know about IR ..i know mostly about Ultraviolets and a bit about X-rays. just be careful you can get eye damage or something..you will not notice you got eye damage until later.

later

[phazonxl]

Actually, he won't have any damage at all. The IR passive filter is on the camera only and not near his eyes. All he is doing is taken a picture with his camera and looking at them, not the IR directly.

[ultracolor]

scary -

[flamedog9]

cool

[gr33d777]

its all right.. its all right
