Infrared Camera Lighting Test
November 22nd, 2009
infrared lighting test using a home made camera and lighting system starting with a broken CCTV camera the Bandpass filter was removed allowing it to see the near Infrared part of the spectrum between 380 and 1180 nanometers by adding a low pass filter at 780nM blocking the Visible part of the EM spectrum this will allow the sensor to have a limited bandwidth of 780-1180 nanometers giving the charactureistic of greys and silver images seen throughout You Tube,I experimented with this in the …
Home made 850nM illuminators
easy way is to get an LED torch and swap out the white leds for the IR LEDs and use it as an Illuminator or build your own as i did
please can someone tell me how to make one of these IR lights cause im a ghost hunter with little cash and want to do it right. i tried the small IR lights from radio shack ( three of them), with 2-AA batteries and a resistor and only puts out enough light for 6″ max.
please help me if anyone has any info.
would be greatly appreciated.
I like this. Have seen the rat shooter on utube and thought when I get the time and camera etc will give it a go. What light do you use?
Nice!
This system was a Recovered CCD CCTV camera hooked to a DVD recorder and seperate mics.
Good footage on that setup. Does look a little “Blair Witch” in some points. A 1986 VHS full sized camera! Hmmmm. Back then I wasn’t even doing my still photography! That would come about in 1988 and the IR film shooting on Kodak’s HIE would follow in the Spring of 1989.
lol :o) we will have to go again soon
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm such a nice place up there
