Homemade night vision scope

August 27, 2009 - 7:54 pm

I built this night vision scope from spare parts in 2006. while it technically isn’t a light amplification device, it is a way to see in the dark, kind of an “Invisible Flashlight” using invisible infrared light.

    Right. only the camera isn’t infrared, it’s just a regular cam, but most small cameras can pick up infrared light. if I had more infrared LED’s I’d have better range.

    I think I only understood how night vision works after watching this and several other homemade videos.
    Please correct me if I am wrong:
    1. Infrared LEDs cast light into the room/what you’re looking at.
    2. Intrared camera picks up reflected light.
    3. Reduced range due to ?strength of LEDs?

    Yes it has no problem seeing in the daytime. the way it sees in the dark is with the infrared light. just like a Sony nightshot camera. it’s not a light amplification device

    yes, but can you see something through the viewfinder during the day? because nightvision cameras has its outputs RCA (intensity + color) colored at day, and B&W at night… but the viewfinder only accepts the intensity (Y) of the S-VIDEO. Am I right?
