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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

@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]

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

@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

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

[gunzfactory]
