Ghost Hunting Mock Setup

Going ghost hunting tomorrow at chillingham castle! Here is most of the equipment I will be bringing (A bit of a mess right now as I am trying not to forget any cables!) There will be detailed videos on my channel about what we find!

Hacking A Camera For Full Spectrum

What we see is simple visible light. But radio waves, infrared, microwaves, x rays are all forms of light to but we just cant see them. Most cameras are equipped with a filter that blocks out UV (Ultraviolet) and IR (Infrared) light. However, if you remove that filter you can capture much more light and create some strange images. This also enables the camera to do night vision.

For this hack I got this simple crappy camera I had lying around. 

NOTE: If you are planning on doing this please read a proper tutorial, this is just me showing you what I did. I also take no responsibility if you permanently damage your camera when doing this so only do this on a rubbish camera.

The guts of the camera.

The TINY little image sensor. I just had to snap the little filter and it was then done!

Here are some images of my garden with the filter removed. Look at how strange everything looks. The blue tint is all of the UV and IR light coming from the sun.

Hacking An Old CCTV Camera

So iv had this old CCTV camera for ages and it looks quite nice but I have never got anything out of it. Well i'm going ghost hunting latter this week (Look at the 1 hour flappy birds special video for details on my channel Halflife390) and night vision and infrared is key to get good footage. IR panels are really expensive so I decided to rip apart this old camera to get the IR LED ring out of it and put it to good use!

Here is the camera opened up.

I opened it up and pulled out the IR ring and light sensor! Got a 9v battery and clip, switch and a couple of wires ad soldered it all together.

Cut some balsa wood to make a frame, hot glued it together and secured everything down with electrical tape.

Finally, I mounted it to a tripod so I now have an IR light tripod to aid in collecting footage. The whole process took about 20 mins. Even quick projects can produce spectacular results!
