. Remove the IR lens. Its not as difficult as you'd think. To do so, carefully disassemble the camera until you have the lens assembly visible, depending on the camera model you may or may not be able to remove the IR filter which will look like a red tinted piece of glass. Use tweezers to remove it. This should fix it.
Here's a surprisingly powerful and effective spy camera and camcorder. Depending on what you already have at your disposal this could only cost you around $40. Most Night Vision Viewers cost around $99 and don't record or take pictures. They also have very cheap low power LED that don't illuminate very much. This is one of the best ways to make a Night Vision Spy Camera

No prob. Well I don't know of too many cameras that have built in "Night Shot" which is the ability to switch to an IR filtered camera. Sony Handycam did have this and they're cool because they work off of mini DVD's. They're sorta outdated so you should be able to find a good price online for used depending on your price range. It would eliminate you having to risk removing the IR filter, which is why I used the $30 camera which I won in a raffle so I didn't care if it broke..
The IR attachment sounds right, you should see a faint red light. The filter isn't strong enough to block all IR light which is why you saw the remote LED through the LCD. Remove the IR lens. Its not as difficult as you'd think. To do so, carefully disassemble the camera until you have the lens assembly visible, depending on the camera model you may or may not be able to remove the IR filter which will look like a red tinted piece of glass.

Sorry man, college sucks. Here's my plan. Finish the 007 Mini Scuba Tank because I actually have the supplies now and thats way over due. I have an IR laser that would look sweet, and bought an IR maglight on ebay but the batteries were the wrong size. I actually had this all build but it just didn't didn't look good and it was difficult getting the laser accurate. Its basically an IR laser with ACOG scope
Great video and good links for the parts. It'd be really handy for security guards to keep in their pocket for night shift. Much cheaper than a shop bought one to. I like your hunting idea. Strap it to a rifle, and line it up at 150 yards, then have a trigger activated IR Laser mounted under the barrel, so the target never see''s it coming. More humane that way.
@NewDubstepNow No, because you cant see the light. Only by looking through the camera can you see anything. Its IR LED!
@bluejay148 Thanks, you can find them online along with the special LED on sites like eBay and Amazon. The LED are wired in parallel.
@CaptJerico Normal camera with the IR filter extracted. Its pretty simple on this camera model.
Look through the camera screen and point a TV remote at it. If you see a VERY bright coming from LED then your camera will work. All camera's will see some light but when its bright like a flashlight and can be seen when you shine the LED on the wall then you know it doesn't have an IR filter. For this purpose you don't want your camera to have an IR filter.
@brdane If you stare directly into the LED you can see a faint red, but it was still completely pitch black from my view. The IR light can't be seen by human eyes, only with the use of a camera where the IR filter has been removed. Some camera's have Night Shot mode which allows you to see the IR. Those are more expensive
It has to do with the wavelength of infrared light, our eyes can't see it. Its sorta like being color blind. Infrared light isnt really good for taking photos so thats why most camera's have filters to block out IR light. Once the filter is removed, like with my camera, it allows you to view IR light. The IR filter in my iPhone that I was filming with can still see IR light because the light was bright enough to pass through the built in iPhone filter. Hope this helps clarify how it works
Thanks again :) I have actually got my hands on some broken point and shoots similiar to the one I just bought so I think I'm gonna do some autopsy work. Thanks for the help. If I run into any snags I might drop you a line again. Very much appreciated! Cheers!
@kingmaker121 I guess if you want a green flashlight. Infrared LED are not visible to the human eye. Only cameras can see them. So for Night Vision you'd only want to use Infrared LED
Use IR laser diode instead of IR LED's. The laser will give narrower viewing range but the viewable distance is +100 feet.
Baaad Aaaaasss my friend!!!!!!!
I'm going to direct many of my subscribers to your channel for advice because the night vision i use for my UFO research is too expensive for most people and they really want to get into "Night Vision UFO Sky Watching"...!!!
@CaptJerico Unfortunately no, the IR filter has to be removed. Sorry. You'd be surprised how cheap a decent digital camera is these days. Especially if its used.
that is probably the best build of that idea I've seen so far.
@stephencarlsbad You'd probably get a brighter light from IR Bulbs/LED. Both will work
@jinxmike It depends if its used or brand new. Most digital camera prices are getting cheaper because cell phone's are getting more advanced and with better cameras. So camera companies are lowering prices on less professional cameras to compete with cell phones.
@MetalWolfAirsoft Haha nice! I'm glad you found this useful :D
@redefyne No I wish! I was thinking about doing this with old cheap cellphone but never got around to it.
DUDE, that is amazing :0 liked and subbed
Thats pretty sick dude!
I'm redoing this soon but it'll be a night vision scope with a IR laser. Should be pretty epic. But honestly what you're saying is too much work and I know most people only watch my videos for entertainment and rarely build it. Plus I figure if somebody wants to build this that bad, then they'll find a way. I'm here to show its possible if you put your mind to it and do some work. I answer EVERY message that's sent to me with questions. Thanks though.
I like that you're camera has optical zoom. It's hard to believe but I think that the IR light you are using may be more powerful than mine,and mine is a 96 8mm 850nm LED.
@FxEffects2010 Possibly, I wish I could just add a picture to the current video. Its actually very simple.
I've thought of that but unless you take out the IR filter you wont see anything. It can be done though.
very nice. now does the camera still operate as it should, by that I mean does it still capture quality stills?
sick! i wish you had more subs you deserve them
Does it have NightShot capabilities?
In theory if you remove the ir filter you should not have any problems with focusing, focal length, iris opening etc on any camera because the filter does not play a role in any of these. It is there just to block off ir light. Hope it helped.
Awesome video! Im gonna build me one of those and then i go GHOST HUNT here in Sweden! =D Thanks for the video BRO!
If you had digital binoculars then yea I'd say it would work, but you need a computerized "eye" to see the IR light.
you're a genius! very innovative
love it, love all your stuff :D
did you remove the filter thing on the inside of the camera, that disables the infrared to pass through?
thank you!!!
Good video, and thanks for the links :)
thank you , have done this, very bright indeed. Is one ten ohm resister correct.
cheers from Rod.
Just a tip for the future, or for people atempting this at home - crazy glue fumes can melt the screen as well as the screen finder lenses.
Excellent stuff, I like the way you think ;-). try a piece of black tube placed in between the IR leds to fit right down to the camera lens to stop the light shining back into the camera :-)
Did you do anything to remove the internal filters from the camera, or did you just find a camera with sub-par IR-Cut filters in it?
Either way, it's impessive.
I did the same thing with an old phone but i didnt put any led's and i would watch netflix and hulu on it and its really cool to have it zoomed in its like a portable tv i can take it every where and its like im sittin at home watching tv is awesome
Question, what would be the difference between using LED IR bulbs from ebay and making a rgeen flashlight out of red and blue colored filters? Same? or is it different?
Thanks for the info GGG (you are the G!) I am a little apprehensive about taking the camera apart - (just bought it and wanted to return it if this doesn't work ) I got the body case off the back and looked inside. Is the lens system normally just underneath the LCD screen? It's a bit out of my depth .. any how to videos out there? thanks alot. much appreciated.
What are those light bulb call? Btw they are quite shiny when they are facing your camera. Is that means ppl can see the light in dark?
Are the lights visible to the naked eye in the dark? And where did you get the eye piece (hood) that is glue to the lcd screen? Nice video
They're on ebay, search battery clip 2 AA. They come in packs of 5 :)
I was thinking about making the Shishkabob from Fall Out 3
This is amazing!!!! Do you build these for anyone? I'd be interested....
You should do your projects on Instructables as well, but show the steps as you do them. It's a lot easier to understand that way.
I gotta say, looks somewhat bootleg but still very usable. I'm quite tempted to get that view finder just because of how it works. I'm not gonna remove my IR filter from my camera. Its very compact. My first reaction was like WTF, then it was like thats ingenious.
Yea its completely dark in the room except for a faint red glow from the LED.
Haha thanks man. I appreciate it! :)
Tip for future I would say would be show quality of product in beginning of video so people know what to expect.
Can you please tell me if there are any cameras on the market now that don't have IR filters or do most now have them? thanks
now all you need is a standard weaver mount on the bottom and an IR lazer and you have yourself a night time Spec Ops setup kind of thing. I'm sure the camera lets you see the laser much better than it does the lights. or you can combine the laser and the lights for close up visibility and long distance target acquisition. zero the camera's reticule to your gun at about 70 yards and you are set to go.
cool bro but does'nt the camera come with a flash which you can use by defaulf instead of connecting LED's ??
this is one of the things i really want to make, i play manhunt a lot, and sometimes we do it with airsoft too, this would help in both situations, maybe even mounth it up on my airsoft gun for a scope :D
Is there anyway you can make a video explaining how to hook up the led lights in more detail maybe.Like show the internal peice that houses the leds.and their attached wires.?? Please and thanks I would appreciate it.
Exactly right
@MetalWolfAirsoft Make a picatinny mount for it, put it on your gun. That way you can use the focus crosshair on the camera as an actual crosshair, and be able to take it off during the day.
Awesome ! I subscribed ;)
About 25 feet, it would be even better if it was coupled with some con reflectors.
Hey, great video! I like it alot!
Though U are a great explainer, could you please link to some kind of wiring diagram for the 200mw LED´s, the 10ohm resistor and the 9V battery?
By the way I found 300mw LED´s, should I still go for the 10 ohm resistor?
I really would like to know in what order You soldered them together..
so wait can't other people see those bright lights at 4:24 at night or were we only abble to see them cuz you showed it through a camera?
have you modded the camera to see the infra red light better? if i point a tv remote at my camera (fuji finepix jx530) and i can see the led flashing does this mean i just need to make one of these torches?
No, its bought separately
Hi Bro, I have two questions: first is did you have to take out the ir filter in the camera? Second is the parallel issue. Read somewhere that leds like to run in series. Can you tell me the pros and cons? I plan to place 10 of these in a spot light running from a 6volt torch battery. cheers for the flick.
do you think if you fitted this to the eyepiece on a telescope it would work
dude. I love the 9v batt pack. 10 year old me would have had his world changed.
Thats freakin amazing... Wish i had the time and money to make it
At some point , i became convinced thet krazy glue is your sponsor
@GreekGadgetGuru so if you wired this in series you would need a more high powered battery?
so i wired one of these led set ups a second ago with all the same parts and if i put it on 9v the leds start smoking, and i am wondering if yours emit a red glow without the camera. So if you have any tips i would be great full
@GreekGadgetGuru You can modify a DSLR to pick up infra red, if image quality is an issue.
Yea, I shouldn't have said anything back, but I was having a bad day and his comment just tipped me over the edge.
i think u can put variable resistor so u can adjust the led brightness
No problem man, good luck. Just leave me a message next time, or try contacting me via my facebook page.
hi, thanks for the video but if you could explain from the first step and explain more about assembling, that could be so much better. i mean positive and negative of the batteries is not such a big deal.
could you tell me, what kind led bulbs you use? infrared led? what word i should type in to search on e bayor other web-store?
A resistor cuts off the voltage by a small percentage and yes he did remove the ir filter remove the screws and theyll be a little lens
nice...have you modified the camera?
@Ge0RgEzTeR92 Dude that's really nice of you, I appreciate it : )
damn. i should make night vision glasses out of this and attach it to a hat or helmet to make me look like fox from star fox
you can only see those leds threw the camera right? sorta like the light in the remote
where did u get the infrared leds? ive been looking for some
Well to a certain size It will give off a gentle glow. But that would take a big blub
Hello - I just made the lens attachment according to specs here - I think I have wired it up right as I see faint red lights when the power is on - barely visible in the dark - does this sound right.
Anyway, I bought a camera last weekend that the clerk and I both thought had no IR filter because we could see an LED on a remote through the camera that was not visible to us without the camera. However, when everything is hooked up and running, no visibility through my lcd - wrong lens? thanks
Thumbs up, but I agree with 444verity it's better to show us the process of putting it together than to tell us.
Other than that, cool video!
Hey, I have a question. Are you studying engineering, or is this just a hobby that you've learned from?
I've always wanted to be able to build things, but I'm not as good with hardware as I am with software.
What kind Led nm? 850nm or 940nm? suggest better 940nm because when night cant see any glow red, 850nm still bit glow red cause can seen it.
sooo if these are IR LEDs when you were telling us about the construction you didn't actually see the lights (the iPhone did) ?
pretty awsome mann
where did you buy that view finder?
You can only see it in this video because its being shown through a camera. It would be invisible to you in person
Where did you get that camera? I've been looking for it online all day now and I can't find it.
Maybe if the other person was looking at you through a camera, but to the naked human eye you can't see anything.
Might be worthwhile to put a short tube in front of the lense to block the light from the surrounding leds coming directly into the lense.
That is awesome!
Hey man, can i get an idea where to get a scope body for cheap? any ideas? im totally gunna build some of these for all my friends for HvZ
