I tried to make something like this 10 years ago, but way more sloppily. I was much too ambitious, but learned a lot of useful things about soldering, just like I'm learning here with all this straight forward direction and explanation. This has never been made so clear to me. Excellent work as always.
Nice idea, your "portable night vision device"! That reminds me of my time in the army. There was a laser targeting device. Packed in a box overall as big and heavy as a 40" tube TV. But the box had two straps to carry it as a backpack, so it was called "portable"😂.
Portable to the military is anything that can be carried by a full platoon, either in one piece, or as parts. There are a lot of things that fit that description, up to pretty large anti aircraft guns.
I know exactly what you mean. My unit has some surveillance equipment that's considered "portable" until you realize you're rucking 40+ miles with 75 pounds on your back. Embrace the suck!
Hey! You didn't have to position the screen so far away from your face to obtain a clear image and make the headset so much bigger. If you use a convex lens positioned close to the screen it would make the screen appear farther away (similar to the lenses in a VR headset. Love the content ❤️
look at his soldering jobs. No offense, but what he builds here is "proof of concept" quality, not production quality. SMD Soldering is "bytheway" easier then trough hole soldering, when you have the right tools and steady hands. (If you do not have steady hands or technique, neither will you be succesfull with THT)
@@sarowie Meh, to be fair you need steadier hands for SMD component placement than for any THT job (and if by "right tool" you mean a pick'n'place machine, GTFO lol). But I agree that Scott's soldering job isn't generally great, on this video alone we can see he didn't heat the ICs enough to solder the back tab (which was a good thing in the end given he had to desolder them), and some of his THT joints are cold and matte, but as you said it's POC quality, I'm sure he'd do it better if it was for a customer - if only because he wouldn't have the camera in the way (yeah, don't forget that, it's probably a big hinderance).
3:28 security camera does have IR filter which it switches on the lighting conditions. At night it removes the filter and turn on the ir LED's to get night vision capabilities.
@@hemantbabel4279 I think in day time IR filtered by software, something like automatic color-correction. Mechanical part it's more expensive and less reliably. But maybe you right, I don't know for sure.

I have some experience with analog cameras used on fpv drones. There are cameras like the Runcam Owl which have very small minimum light requirements (as small as 0.001lux iirc) and are also very small, which would be a perfect fit for such a project. They also don't feature IR filters, so if anyone wants to replicate this project, try using that camera
@@spencermurrelle8773 From my understanding, the fpv drone analog cameras use composite, so you just need to connect composite of the camera to the composite of the screen, just like it was shown in the tutorial.
@@welshdave5263 i have fattshark attitude v3 and when im goes to highschool, i experimented this with scrap security camera. It works very well but you know fpv goggles are not cheap then this car monitors.
ive made this years ago with an old fatshark and a security cam. no need to build a complicated pcb since the security cam comes with Infrared LEDs already. It was a lot more compact than scotts design
Usually paralleling semiconductors does not end well as manufacturing tolerances means they don't divide the current evenly. And worse, forward voltage drop decreases with temperature meaning you've got a runaway situation. A small resistor in series with each parallell string would solve that.
I would highly suggest using FPV Goggles like eachine ev100 and an FPV camera without IR filter for a much more compact build. We usually use those in racing drones. I've been wanting to do a project like that using the exact same concept with those components i mentioned but I don't have enough cash to do it. 🙂
Increasing the IR LED output also gives more range. There could probably do with some kind of saturation knob too so you can decide how much to adjust by.
I like this project. I hadn't thought of scavenging parts from the security camera - good idea! I didn't see any method to ensure the LED strings all receive similar currents. The problem is that when LED's warm up, their forward voltage drop (Vfwd) decreases. For LEDs in series, this isn't a problem... as long as you're driving only one string. When you drive more than one string in parallel, one string will draw more current than the others and will warm up faster, lowering Vfwd, increasing string current, etc... All while another string runs cooler, and tends to shut down. One way to address this puts a resistor in each string. This resistor develops a Vfwd of its own, but is not sensitive to temperature. The Vfwd of this resistance should be about 2 times the total Vfwd variation of the diode string (Vfwd_max - Vfwd_min)*5*2 = Vresistor (5 for 5 LEDs, 2 to double that; find Vfwd_max and Vfwd_min from the LED datasheet). Istring = 70mA. Find R = Vresistor / Istring There is some inefficiency in adding the resistors, and is still not a Great solution, but it works well enough.
Only if he used two screens- the focal point for the single one was the limitation. It's possible he could have used that VR headset and it's internal screens but then you run into the problem of cost of the VR.
@KeeganDitty Ok but for real though, how do you actually expect it to work? You get a VR headset (not cheap), an RCA-HDMI converter, and... then what? You can't see the screen because the lenses distort everything. Remove the lenses? Now you can't focus on the screen because it's too close. I really don't know how you expect this to work.
You could have just used vr goggles and turned on the camera of your phone to show in the screen, then added some bright IR leds.Still a very good project.Keep up the great work!
Built several of these, one was a phone Ota to battery and webcam via Google cardboard. Another was rasberry pi and orange pi with rasbian on rasberry and motion eye on the orange pi. Laptop in backpack also works as would some mini pc's.
Stuff all the haters and their jabs about it's looks man - I love your invention. Keep making stuff. It's awesome that you do! Also, consider getting a small desktop CNC machine and fashioning some of your things out of layers of plywood. It cuts so quickly and I can't believe how fast things come together - I can cut my layers quicker than I can design them! I remember the 'bad old days' when I had to way all those hours for 3D prints too - and sometimes only after finding spaghetti in the morning and another delay!
I built my own night vision scopes using GEN 1 tubes. Night vision is a fun project. If you can grab your self a high quolity CCTV camera you can build a pretty good GEN 1 equiverlent scope. Plenty second hand comercial CCTV cameras on eBay.
That really is accurate though; they did a decent job in the movie, you can make out him flipping through various EM spectrums. Looked like thermal, laser ranging, penetrate radar/x-ray, etc. If they ever get a system working to mask you from visual light, you would need an array of non-visible range sensors, as being invisible means you couldn't see, either.
security cameras do have infrared filters, so they can work in daylight, theres a small solenoid that moves it to the side for night vision. i designed one of these last year for a client, with a switch that activates this solenoid and the infrared LEDs, and its built in a cheap VR headset, much smaller
I'm not sure if you can get them over there, but you can look into acquiring an Image Intensification tube (photomultiplier). The tubes themselves are kind of cheap (at least here in the US) but the power supplies are expensive. Given your aptitude for power supply design that would be a fun project! That and any one else with an IR detector is going to see you lit up like a christmas tree, but photomultiplication is passive.
Nice project! I get why you did it this way, being an electronics channel, makes sense! My way was to remove ir filter from an old smartphone, attach it permanently in a cheap smartphone vr headset and mount an ir lamp. Turned out quite sleek if I do say so myself :)

cool, now I can build a stronger IR light for my Sony camcorder, because they have a Nightshot mode or a small EVF with camera and IR light for one eye, thank you for your inspiration and nice projects
any infrared LED can be seen by cameras and not the human eye.. you can dismantle old remote controls for tv's and vcr's, etc, or just buy a shit ton of infrared led's and hook up ANY camera (B&W works better) and a way to view the image.. i like to use old eye pieces from old style camcorders. This is a fun project. ive made a few of them.
mobile phone camera's don't have IR filter as well I think they be used for making Night Vision in addition with some IR leds not sure about sensitivity
FYI almost any camera including webcams can be infra-red cameras just be removing the IR filter in-front of the lense which is easy in some but not all
Indeed it is fine for indoor use. However it is really challenging to develop the nightvision system using only the IR diode reflector and digital camera which can be use outside, with at least 20m range. I've been doing this 7 yeras ago but the result was quite poor. However the techniqe and my experience (and budged :D) is now at higher level than before. The high power IR diodes is now chepaer and the have become widely available. Also the proper beam focusing for higher ranges may be chalning. Maybe some has already the experience ?

Would LOVE to see you build up a DIY Beamer projector from an old monitor, a high-watt COB LED, and some Fresnel lenses. There are a few references online for them, but none in in such a visually followable way like you always make!
Not sure if you read comments but a great follow up to this would a wireless heartbeat and respiration sensor from wifi signal. There's a scientific article about it called "exploiting CSI phase data from vital sign monitoring with commodity wifi devices"
