Scruit 0 Posted June 17, 2008 I have a camera like this in my car as a rear-facing dashcam: But it doesn't have an IR filter so grass appears yellow etc. Does anyone know of a camera of this size that sees colors correctly outdoors? EDIT: It looks like all I need to do is get a mini-lens that is IR coated to preserver colors under sunlight. Having trouble finding such a lens (without having to buy another camera). Anyone know where I can get such a lens - probably in ~3mm for a wide angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwi 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Have a look here: look for "Infra-Red CUT" http://www.allthings.com.au/Catalogue/Things/index.html#FIL-IRCUT/6.8mm This Aussie guy sells this stuff for experimentation. I have these filters glued to the back of the lens on two monochrome board cams which I use outdoors. They work OK but attenuation of the light with an iris or ND filter will help too. I used a green glass camera filter for that. For a cheap ND filter for color, visit Longs or Savon and buy clip-on polaroid sunglass shades for prescription glasses. Cut out a circle, glue on to front of lens. Not sure if the colors will be exactly right though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted June 18, 2008 I can get them and even ICR however I doubt your board supports it. They are cheap like $10-12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
