Logitech quickcam hack

Actually this is pretty oldschool, as you can do it with a normal film camera as well. But, nice to see it repositioned for webcams: We were taught in university to use an exposed piece of slide film leave the lens cap on and click a shot , instead of a negative.

If you use large format film, it can be used to create a makeshift filter over a camera lens. They made a big fuss here in Japan a few months back, because sony released a vid cam that did not have the filter in place.

Why the big deal? Some types of material are basically invisible in the infrared spectrum…like the stuff a lot of swimsuits are made of…. Once you figure out the forward voltage of the webcam, you can see how much voltage you have to play with. Just did this with a logitech quickcam express. Now if I could just get the stupid thing to consistently work with the USB on my computer…. A mag light with a filter seems to work but is a bit too ghetto. An LED solution seems more elegant.

I tried this with a cheapo webcam I had laying around. Works great. I used wood glue to fix the filter.. The hardest part was getting the ir lens out. After that, no problem. Used elmers glue around the edges to hold the filters in place, then reaspebled.

Worked great, even got it in focus, untill i accedentally unscrewed the lens cover and exposed the sensor to light directly….. This is kind of funny! I did the same a couple months back with a Logitech Quickcam and it really works well. Is there a way to convert webcam video directly to analog bypassing the computer? If so you could hook the webcam up to one of the USB batteries and a video tape chassis and have a portable self-contained IR camera.

I ended up just scratching the lens a whole lot, and now I have an unworking quickcam, like 4. Nice site by the way… not. Wow this is pretty sweet, I couldnt really think of a good way I can use it. But now at least i know its a possibility. Excellent hack! Anyone out there know how to input video to a PDA. Anyone seen anything like that?
