title: Turning an IBM USB Webcam into an IR Webcam date: 2005-05-07 14:23:38

Following the instructions here, I was able to get my $14-at-Walmart-in-Oregon-four-years-ago IBM USB webcam seeing infrared without too much difficulty. Since getting the IR filter out proved to be a bit tricky, and since the note on this camera on Geoff's pages just said "Tricky to find", I thought I'd put up some pix and instructions on how to do this. I'll be curious to see how well it works tonight...I live above a busy street, and I'm hoping I'll be able to get some neat pix.
