How To Make A Night Vision Camera Out Of A Regular Digital Camera DIY!!! 

lol mustache straight outta the wild west

tim you should do more diy stuff i like your step by step instruction thank you

You guys are such a good team! Tim's got the know how but every time I was lost jenn asked the exact question I needed. Loved this vid!!!

NICE VIDEO! The split screen showing the two camera's images was a great touch. I've got a few old cameras around here.....

And capacitors can hold a charge even when there are no batteries are present. Not saying how I know but your first guess would guess probably be right,

like a game of operation. like your magnetic tools, Tim!

Now you can start your own online Ghost Adventures videos haha

TIM YOU ARE THE MAN! seriously have taught me so much about random things i didn't know. from fixing an AC, fixing a window, changing brakes etc

Tim just preformed camera heart surgery!!! Doctor Tim...

Where can I find those kind of infrared lights you got there? I want those lol

Your wife was clutch! She asked all the right questions. Never make a video without her.

came for the camera, stay for the moustache

it works perfectly. I had at home same old camera as on video and i made my own IR cam. it took for me 15 min. Thank you for video

That was so interesting!! Really love this kind of thing, it was like an episode of "How it works" , brilliant! Thanks for making this video. :-)

the video with the night vision reminded me of one of those ghost hunting shows lol

Tim is like a tech nerd like me!! LOVE IT!!!!

I feel like most people should not be messing with this. you are on a level above the rest of us Tim.

Meant to tell you that the footage inside the Temple during Jingle Cruise was the best I have seen so far. The contrast and color were really good and could see much more in the dark. Thanks.

now this is one totally cool vid , thanx folks and happy trails (that's wild west talk)

How about converting the flash into infrared lighting?

Now you got yourself a "all light" camera. You can play around by taking pictures in sunlight, with different external filters, like UV and even filters that will only allow IR or UV through. You can get some crazy effects with that.

nice to see your videos back

Pretty slick.Great video.Thanks

Great stash! I really appreciate you showing us how easy it really is to have night vision for only a few bucks. Now I've had night vision products over the years since about 2005. And I have tried a few different setups. Now with that said , please people be careful. Night vision is not all that it seems. As soon as you turn it on you give away position. You light up like a Christmas tree and you just turned on a very powerful flashlight and anyone else with NV will see you coming a kilometer away. You need a passive way to see in the dark. Thermal binoculars give off no infrared light and they operate on the principle of temperature. Anything that radiates any type of thermal signature can be passively monitored. You can see them long before they see you. When I go out at night to practice locating a target I use a small unidirectional and a homemade parabolic microphones. Sound is very tricky at night especially around heavy rock and water. By practising a little it won't take long for you to become highly proficient at night time range finding and location. That's how I do it and keeping my couple of friends sharp so when the time comes they too can protect their families and get the hell out of Dodge before the whole shithouse goes up in flames. Cry Freedom!

Loved the video! It is like the videos that you used to do a couple of years ago when I started following your vlog. Those videos were one of the reasons that I started vlogging to begin with. Please make more like this, they are very interesting!

this was awesome!! i learned a lot!!! kudos to you, every time I try to operate on a camera, it's pretty much the end of its life! I wanna make one now :)

Bit of a misleading title as this is Infrared and not true night vision. Night vision uses the available light, what little there is in any given area, and amplifies it. Infrared relies on waves that are emitted by anything that emits a heat signature. Still a very useful video. Thumbs up.

it's cool you know how to do this. it went way over my head but I still liked the vlog. thanks guys! :)

I finally understand the role of the illuminators, cool project

Awesome video, I agree that you should do more DIY videos. I keep breaking my cameras before getting a new one, or else I would definitely try this!

That was so cool. You should do more videos like that.

So I just tried this with our Nikon Coolpix S3600. It was very simple to take apart, didn't even need to unhook the cable ribbons. It still seems to work fine and can see the infrared lights now. Only took me about 20 minutes. Our is only a 720p camera but it will work fine for us. Thanks so much for posting this!! Now to make or buy an infrared flashlight.

I've done this with a few cameras now to convert them to infrared camers and the glass you're removing is an infrared pass filter, so if you replace this glass with an infrared filter you then have a camera that will do infrared.

Tip: Some smart phones don't have an IR filter. Another idea for IR light is a black reptile heat bulb. Not the most ideal light source but it does work.

I swear I was amazed to realise that the mustache wasnt a fake/joke one... LMAO

This is awesome! I really want a night vision camera for filming in the bridge on night passages

that was a much better video than most. great job sir

very interesting, went right over my head, you lost me at , unscrew back, but enjoyed it. That bit near the end when you showed us the camera working in night vision, as you opened bedroom door, was so like a ghost hunters show we get over here. They investigate old houses, and scream alot, its a reality show, not a drama.

do you know if there is a way to adapt lenses to that sensor? it would be a really fun diy video

Tim I enjoy watching videos where your fixing things, there was a older vlogg where you were at a rental home at the beach and you fixed the washer, i admire you ability to fix things, i try to fix stuff around my house but usually just cause more problems :/ wahh wahh wahhhh

5:13 can the infra red filter be used for something else, some other project?

Great tutorial! Thanks!! Btw, love your Homer Simpson wall clock! 😂

This is so interesting. As always your commentary is fun and informative. Thanks!

and great job on the reassembly !!! i gotta use precision tweezers and jewellers head light for what you did. good job.

Where did you get the screwdriver set from and what kind/name is it ?. I am looking for similar for tiny screws. I have a 4 set here but still not small enough. Also Tim, where did you get those infared lights from ? and do they reach a long distance ?, many thanks.

I'm digging that stache!!!! Wild Bill Hickok!!!!

Just at the end when your wife asked if you needed the lights to make it night visiable, you said yes but thats not true-ish, it should still pick up any IR emitting object, like a BODY! I was hoping you'd point it at either of your faces, would love to have seen how well it would work like that. Very Cool, I did not know those cameras has an IR filter, gonna dig up an old one and try your experiment!

Excellent job, Tim's so clever.

Wow!..Very cool indeed..Wish I were that smart!

Super cool stuff Tim

Cool, liking the DIY job there, well impressed. Have to remember this one.

This is awesome guys! I was super impressed when you used your night vision at Shallow Grave, super excited to see some cool stuff on the new camera!

was wondering what model cannon you used in the video

Tim what were you like as a kid? Did you pull things apart and put back together? I did good just getting the carry strap put on my camera.

for getting the large ribbon cable back in you can attach a peice of tape and the pull it into the holder, if that makes sense :P

Super enjoyed this tech video Tim!!

That was a pretty sweet diy. I'm gonna try that with an old canon ca,era that I have. Hope it works out as well as yours.

Is that mustache REAL!? lol thanks for the vid. :) very educational.

Tim! Awesome damn project. Thanks for the vid and the share. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm wanting to build a unit which I can use on my rifle scope for night ratting. This is easier than most other tutorials I've seen. Tx

Dang! Dang! Dang! This is super cool!!!! How does Tim know all this? Super impressive! Thanks for the instructions

Aww you guys put my painting by Homer!! :) I loved this DIY video - very cool stuff!! :)

im 15 and have common knowledge of electronics and often repair my broken electronics and even solder new earbuds on old bluetooth headphones. i made one of thes night vision cameras because i was bored but actually in my state when i was like 5 i bought a genuine pair of night vision goggles from Toys R Us and still have them. ive never seen real goggles sold there since.

That's really cool and really cool that u know how to do it.

What is the model of the camera bmc ....?

Nice vid. I usually use various size tweezers; careful of the sharp tweezer edges of course, to help with difficult ribbon cables like those.

Helpful. Definitely ll try on my Casio camera. Thanks!

Wow,you are really good at what you are doing.

This was awesome. I love these DIY videos.

Cool Tim! You can have ghost adventures now. :D

Omg your moustache is freaking awesome

hi mate what you think about doing that to night shooting it will work with some T20 touch

That's pretty cool. wonder where he learned to do that?

Very cool!!!! Thanks for sharing

Tim is high as hell in this video :D Stay smooth pimpin bruh

that mustache though lol

question: the filter. is one side more preferred ?

Where did you get those IR lights from? Were they homemade?

I would have pooped my pants if you found a ghost up there!!!! LMAO

kewl,,,, but will only work (view) as far as the light will travel?

Could you use the camera outside looking up at the sky at night? Could you see anything without the infrared lights?

That's pretty cool Tim!!

Hi mate ! can be changed into a thermal camera ? Thank you !

Question for you - cane you do a cheep modded DIY night vishion camera that works from emitted infrared light instead uf having to yuse an attacht infrared light sorce? You know, the type that shows up aminals from therr body heat? Of coarse, a camera that did both would be best of boast wolds, but probalby would no be a cheep DIY.

Now this is a night vision goggle, better than the ones on youtube

Very cool :) Now to tear apart all my old cameras.... :D

What did you use to build the led light set up?

How did you learn that you had to remove the infrared sensor?

+TheTimTracker where did you get the infrared lights from?

this was great video i learn lots it going to help me hopeful film stuff better at sports events and concert that go to with my family and friends so thank you Tim.

Gold Star for Tim....!!!! 🌟🌟🌟 Go find some ghosts to film......!!! 👻👻👻👻😅😅😅😅

I love this! Thank you for sharing.

That was very interesting.

I really want that mustache

how does one find a screwdriver like the one you use? What is it called? Camera store? Thanks

Alright let's take this bad boy on space mountain that b awesome

Nice shirt, Tim. AND it IS the CORRECT time :P

waking up your stairs was super scary what if you saw a ghost! Reminds me of that scene from Insidious

Excellent camera configuration. Loved the Vlog Have a great day :)

how do i put a very Bright Diode Inside of the camera replacing the small light on the camera and possibly add a switch to turn the ir ight on?

Tim what is the model of this camera? U use
