Funditor shows us how to make a DIY night vision system using a large flashlight, some colored plastic discs and an old digital camera. The result is an invisible spotlight that will allow you to see what the light is pointed at using the camera. High power IR LEDs could also be used but would cost a bit more. |

I bet the flashlight is visible from kilometers away

Why would the flashlight be visible kilometers away? It emits only infrared light and as such, everything remains entirely dark. I’ve built this - I know.

I doubt those cellophane discs he used are Congo Blue and Primary Red.
Even then, visable light could still come through the lens, with a X,000,000 candela spot light like that.
Its like those infrared goggles that you make out of welding goggles.

seen something similar to this, only for a webcam, used a piece of exposed film for the filter on the camera, and took a IR led out of an old tv remote….not more than a few bucks and worked pretty good
