You are right. With a $20 USB video cable device one can run the IR camera feed directly into a laptop instead of the monitor. Sabrent USB 2.0 Video/Audio Capture DVD Maker Adapter - USB 2.0, MPEG Encoder, Plug-n-Play at TigerDirect.com Good idea!

Good points, you know what you are talking about. Let me respond, as I have thought about this too: -Scope light transferance loss: You have a point as there will be light loss. Though my scope is excellent, a Nikon Monarch 4x16-50mm. I can see better in the dusk thru it than with my natural...

Yes I plan to mount the camera behind my 50mm scope on a Rem700 .243. What drawbacks do you see? There is a necessary trade off for the economy of the build!

I think I figured out a cheap solution. I will cannibalize a simple 12vDC car charger device outputting 5V at 320mA and run it in line from my power source. $6 Amazon.

Jaybeez Roland of "Rolaid's Bench" the author of the youtube video you linked actually answered that question for me on his youtube channel. He said, I have used it with 808/850/915/940 and the camera does well with all. That being said as you move up the 'scale' the sensitivity of the Sony...

I have a 12V power source and want to run a simple 808nm 300mW laser module at its driver's operating voltage of 3-5V and 320mA of current. I want to run my laser in the field off of the same power source that I will be running my other electronic equipment, which is a 12 volt 7Ah lead acid...

Steve, Thanks for posting. I need to clarify for you that I am considering two (2) options. The first is leaving the original lens in (collimating lens), which I am now guessing will crossover at a meter or two and then began expanding at the original lens divergence of .5mRad. And this answers...

My goal is to expand the beam to illuminate objects in the night. A "laser pointer" will not serve my needs at all. I am inquiring as to what the beam will do with this plano-concave lens of -8.111 focal length. As I have thought more about what the original lens will do to the beam after...

Question from a newbie. Anyone have an educated guess what kind of beam divergence I might get by replacing a standard collimating lens (~.5mRad) in a common dot focusable laser module (808nm 500mW) with a 6mm plano-concave lens (-8.111mm focal length) with the module having an original beam...

I'm a newb and glad to be on the forum. Am trying to put together a relatively high powered focusable Laser illuminator good to 300+yds for the economy and fun of it all. I just bought and am waiting to receive an infrared EJ230 bullet camera from Kt&C and the specs indicate that its SONY 960H...

I got interested in joining while researching for a laser illuminator build I am doing for night vision hunting over hogs here in South Texas. Pleased to be here.
