Enhancing Projects with Night Vision Modifications

In this video we show the hardware modification which can be made to a variety of cameras used with embedded boards, such as the OV2640 as shown here on the ESP32-CAM. By simply removing the Infra Red Light filter, you can then use the camera in complete darkness with IR lighting, and in low light conditions.

We used a TV remote in this video for our IR Light Source, and for the ESP32-CAM the on-board Torch LED could be replaced with an IR LED instead allowing for control of the LED lighting from the software...

This is fiddly to achieve physically due to the size of the parts, and lenses/cameras without IR filters can be purchased as an alternative.

The software used is the ESP32-CAM Camera Example, which added in from the Examples for this board, in the Visual Micro Explorer.
