Nice article. This is especially relevant in todays society given the increase in crime levels particulary related to home thefts and break ins.

ugh, I also have a logitech quickcam express, and while I glued on a decent wide angle lens and did an ir mod, I am sorta meh on it due to the hoooorible quality and slow refresh rate . . . i’ve even passed on using it as a rearview for my carputer (though checkout a small program called video thumb 2, it can give you a nice desktop feed off the cam)

this hack has way too many LEDs and the box isn’t big enough how do you keep track of where your camera is without leds that are visible and a bigger case this camera will get lost

THIS IS FUCKING DANGEROUS. computer”guru”, did you really wire both secondary circuits of both of those switching mode power supplies to each other? if so, you might want to put a disclaimer on your website.

i posted some pictures from the camera. take a look at the zoom difference. if it can be setup with a decent webcam, an added zoom lens is better then the digital “enhancement” zoom.

ha, like the new bonus picture at the bottom of the article

asdf: the array is from bgmicro.com, they sell a fully assembled and tested version as well. I’ve built that kit and it’s worth the few extra $ instead of spending hours trying to figure out which joint is cold, only to find that one of the LEDs was defective.

Such a device can easily see through swimwear in broad daylight and no IR-LED’s neccessary, only a piece of floppy disk over the lens. Thats it.

Today I got a terrible shock. steve lives dangerously, DANGEROUSLY close to me. Please do not think that everyone from the north-east is like steve.

steve:
“i dont love it! leds are for christmas trees and toys…”

Steve, you must have a very sad christmas tree… All that work just to have a tree that only lights up on hacked webcameras/nightvision cameras and goggles…

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure that steve is actualy multiple people who share an account.”

Yes, that is a recent thing… and I love it!! the original steve always had something negative to say for almost every project… but the new (and improved) steve is multipolar :P still flaming like a polish library in the early 40′s.
