In this project I will show you how to create a night vision device. It mainly consists of a security camera, a small screen and a custom PCB which features IR LEDs and an LED driver. After powering the device with a USB Type-C PD powerbank, you can basically use it to see in the dark. Let's get started!

Oh god🤣
3:44 is better
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Relatable :D
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.
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 ❤️
THIS is the top of UA-cam engineering. Simple, yet functional. You're the man. Since 2015 you just amaze me. Keep it going. :)
"How to make a IR flash light"
It is very simple just replace smd infrared led in your smartphone instead of ordinary led flash light.

Reminds me of the old kipkay infrared camcorder scope, very cool
There is also more expensive alternative, buy a cat (cat has got a night vision) and when youre in front of the wall, the cat starts meowing :D
Nope, the cat just watches and laughs to itself when you smash your face into the edge of a door.
@@JETJOOBOY xD
@@JETJOOBOY then it gonna bite his hand and scratch it and jump to run away xD
That was really funny
but living with cat is way harder than just buying night vision cam XD
Du bist einer der ganz wenigen, die solche Ideen auch umsetzen und die Realisierung auch dokumentieren. Dein Talent ist bewundernswert frisch und konsequent umgesetzt, ein Glück, dass Teile und Material zur Verfügung stehen, sonst dürfte man alles löten und noch mehr frickeln, so erscheint es durchaus vorstellbar, dass ebenso auch nach zu bauen. Beide Daumen hoch :)
Yeah, I enjoyed this video as you hope 😊
I'm glad!
After 5 years of watching your videos it was the first time seeing you .💯
Just in time
I obliterated my toe couple of minutes ago
same bro
Lol xD
I feel the pain just by reading aaahhhhh
Looks like a box FPV goggles! Like my EV800D! 😃
Great job, dude!!! Stay safe there! 🖖😊
Just glue some ir LEDs to a pair of fat shark goggles and connect a fpv cam to the av input
@@TheOrginalHumibold Very true! Like a Foxeer Cat camera. 😃
@@TheOrginalHumibold basicly that yeah
Very good project 👍 I like it
That project is crazy!
There are security cameras that make a click sound when there is darkness. I call it the switch over filters. On one polarity, the plastic part inside switches over to the glass. On another polarity, the plastic part switches over to the filter.
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
I have one for you. I need to build a temporary bypass for a Hoshizaki ice maker. I need to create a relay that latches for 6 minutes with a 12V input signal that becomes present but only lasts for 1 minute or less.
As water is consumed by making ice the level drops to the point it is time for harvest mode and the float switch opens. [I can reverse that by using a relay and I have a 12v supply so when the float opens a 12v signal is supplied.] As soon as harvest mode begins the tank starts to fill but the tank will get full in a minute or less but I need the harvest mode relay to stay shut for a total of 6 minutes. Now that is a lot of background info. I digress back to my third sentence statement...
"I need to create a relay that latches for 6 minutes with a 12V input signal that becomes present but only lasts for 1 minute or less."
Heck, I could have the 12v signal from the float trigger drive a 35Ma relay with a 30,000Mfd capacitor across it so when the float signal goes away the relay will be driven by the capacitor for 5 minutes...LOL
Could you send me a simple signal triggered relay timer circuit? It would probably only take a... relay, transistor, capacitor, resistors and a potentiometer.
You're alone in the dark in you workshop, when you hear a pair of unsettlingly German footsteps behind you. You turn around, point your flashlight at the shadowy figure, and *screeching sound* 3:12
I used a old viewfinder from a ancient camera to make a mono night vision scope and some other parts I had laying around.
Scott you could use this Sony Glasstron HMD, check LGR's video for them, if you could find cheap ones you could make it smaller and not 20sm pointing from your face
Really impressive
Now your garage is much secure
Good job, very creative.
You could have used the VR goggles with an mobile phone. Just external IR lights were required. May be some filter for the camera.
I just saw one of your older videos where you're clean shaven, I literally thought you were somebody else! You look completely different without facial hair.
Next time you should try ordering a night vision sensor from digikey.
I do understand you need to make it a bit easier to be able to upload on a regular time schedule though.
Really cool though!
Amazon: Derzeit nicht verfügbar sympathisch man kann reden!
Good one
The project is nice but you could have used concave lenses to make the project size short by reducing the least distance of distinct vision thus reducing the massive distance between your eyes and screen.
In long term, the device would be a burden to wear.
Fbi watchlist:

you should not directly connect strings of LEDs in parallel. You should add a resistor into each string to balanche the inherit non-linearity/non-uniformity of each string.
Nice house looks comfy
you can use a webcam( just remove ir filter) ir leds and a android phone that support OTG
You really like using those USB C power boards
I sort of did something like this using a mini "pinhole" camera, a camera viewfinder CRT, some safety goggles with an elastic strap, an IR spotlight and some circuitry to take a 7.2v NiMh pack up to 12v for the cam and spot-light and 5v for the mono CRT viewfinder, it sort of worked but build quality and mirror (cut up CD) was much to be desired and didnt get a very good picture out of it
wowwowwow I really wanted night vision cam
Nice video Scott
That's a pretty huge mistake. Quarantine life has hit you hard😰
It would be huge if I did not notice it in time and destroyed the LEDs.
@@greatscottlab Oh i thought since you soldered them you might have tested them and blown up a few 😂😂😂
@@renevile I've ran out of solder tin ... Quarantine life hits everyone hard.
0:19 seems very portabel and conpact, perfect to fight in the Shadows
Getting too many Silence of the Lambs flashbacks.
Great vid though, as always :)
this is one of the rare videos that scott don't use arduino.
Wait, did you get a laser printer? Those highlighters aren't smudging anymore!!! 😂
Better to have a night vision fpv camera, specifically Runcam Night Eagle 2 pro. And connect video output to a cheap fpv goggles (without tx & rx module)
You don't even need ir LEDs
this is really cool man keep it up i really love your videos
it looks like Great Scott is doing fully sponsor's advertising projects🤨🤔
flashlight? at home? better quality view? that night vision will be best for night pranks 😀😀😀
You forgot to use konkav lenses. You can buy the casing from Amazon/eBay as "Cardboard" for a Euro or so, which usually is cheaper than buying the lenses alone. With that the distance from your eyes to your screen massively gets reduced. A simple Google Cardboard VR casing is available between 1.99€ and a luxurity version with everything you could ask for for not more than 20 €. And that makes your night goggles much more usable.
Just saying. Also you can use a Raspberry Pi for that purpose with a PiNoir camera, which will cost like 20 € for the cam and if you just take a PiZ for that, 5 € for the computer. I don't know how much you paid for your security camera, but it won't beat 25 € I'd guess. For the screen you can reuse what you have or go for a Pi Screen, that you can mirror into your vision through a pair of glasses.
So that you still can see the normal world around you ∧ the night vision.
And if you do it right, you do use a small prism ∧ two mirrors that splits your view into two screens, so that you can see stereographic. Have I paint a picture about that? Guess you can imagine what I see. Yes.
Your idea is great, but there is much to work on. It can be made cheaper, much cheaper and much better. Still, great work!
But using a PiZ would open the possibility to share your screen with an other user, so that you can go teamworking at night. Thinking of paintball here. GPS with connection running means you know where the other is, you have a minimap and can coordinate the attack, because there is nothing to stop you using muffled voicechat or inserting signals for directions or commands through a little joystick on your gun. All this is not possible with your setup.
Just do the same but with those small viewfinders that come with old VHS camcorders, then you can call it "portable".
it looks like a GIANT VR headset but it works so i give some credit about that...
While your device is very ingenious, a camera that uses light amplification would be more useful. The ideal would be one with light amplification combined with IR illumination for when there is truly no light to amplify.
The latest generation of smart phones have super low light cameras, able of producing an image in near darkness.
Soon even these devices will be consigned to the scrap heap of obsolete equipment. It would be interesting to see if the camera modules can be salvaged and reused in this sort of application. I suspect that that the cameras are now so integrated into the phone circuits, this may not be possible. Certainly there maybe difficulty in accessing the lens controls and the image processing.
In older phones the camera was an identifiable separate module, all be it with a proprietary electrical interface.
The use of a security camera at least solves this interface problem, though at a higher cost. Some security cameras now come with a very impressive low light performance, measured down to 0.0000025 lux, unaided by IR illumination.
I suspect a more practical solution for this application would have been to make the camera handheld and use one of those tiny displays, to put the image display into a set of glasses, maybe over one eye only.
Sir please make a video about how to switch a transistor on and off in a high speed?
Do this also by taking the filter off of an old cell phone or digital camera..
I want thermal vision! Do you think you could make a wearable version of that?
Appreciate ur work
Please make a video on arduino based over voltage and under voltage protection device for home AC appliance.
there is something missing you didn't talk about change the camera from AHD to 960H mode to let it work to screen directly
Step one: buy a one plus phone
Step two: buy a phone mount vr headset
Step three: put one plus in the headset and turn on ir mode
Step four: take a remote controller
Tada! here you have it
It would be better to add lenses like the ones you put the mobile phone in, so you can have much smaller screen and much nearer, so the device could be way smaller
Can you make light amplification type night vision next please?
Nice! I think the Vive headsets with pass through camera can let you do something similar.
That's a great scott type thing!!!!!!
Hey, loved the video and all the others. Could you make a video on how to transfer audio wirelessly with very low latency? I built a speaker (with the help of some of your audio vids) and was thinking about attaching a wireless sub to it. But I haven’t found a portable enough solution for something like that. Greetings from Cologne, Germany
V 2.0 should come with 2 cameras and VR goggles as display.
This is great!
This reminds me of Metal gear solid V night vision
Well, also I think that I can to create a headset for my phone with VR lens and add a circuit for the IR lights, I'll try it, for me It's less expensive, but this is a great idea 👍
Great Video
Can you make a part 2 of this video, using 2 cameras to have a 3d field of view?
well framerate looks good, i wonder how this compares to a comerical NOD, like a pvs14
Sounds like vr with extra steps
0:19 I burst out laughing :))))) Nice idea though. Kipkay made something similar years ago, when he was still working with "Make", from a video camera viewfinder and IR LEDs. In all reality, how "wearable" is the final product ? Looks very heavy...
You should make a X-ray device
Great work!
Nobody:
Tony Stark in his suit: 3:03
nice build. a little bit bulky but surely a good starting point. do you have any information on lag? like how real-time is the image? can you move with a safe feeling in an obstacle environment?
please make review on creality ender 3 3d printer
How about modifying a camera so it just sees infra red. No visible light. They're useful because they let you see through certain things like walls.
I hope this device, include thermal camera
Wow, that was HUGE. I think you are gifted enough to make it much smaller. How about a CRT tube from an old video camera? Even a small FPV goggle would be better starting point. There are even low light fpv cameras available today that are a fraction of this camera's size.
i think it would've been easier to use a pi zero w, ir camera, small display and a battery pack
You already have a camera with infrared leds, whats the purpose of the entire pcb?
Correct
Hello, is there anyways we can get the output of the camera on a laptop without using a DVR system??
Ps: i just love your work!
My mom has a phone Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 and it has no IR filter. I can use the camera and IR led bright enough to see things in Dark.
Use the Xiaomi camera instead, its have infrared camera up to 25m with small size.
Good project I'm subscribe 👍 your channel
Thanks and welcome
Next time use the gear VR or at least its lenses for easier viewing 😁
KipKay made a smaller one back in the day
Really nice video thanks mate :)
My pleasure!
The intro is actually re7 2030 remake
Use ldr for reduce size
Could you really used electret condenser microphone to harvest acoust to electrical energy enough to power cellphones or Leds?
I read a paper being published. Was it really true?
You should put a freznal lense in front of the screen so it doesn't have to be so fucking huge
You can make from van de graph generator please
Not so portable... haha but I really like it!
use a torch light!
sir can you please make a video of rotary incremental encoder Aideepen AB 2 Phase with arduino and it's code..? it will be really helpful..... i need the encoder value as input for my dc motor to run a diy CNC...
miLitary and special forces have those kind of goggles ...
Can you make a mtb downhill racing at night using such night vision device?
I think phone led light is better.....
Or you can just turn on the light
is that easyeda software for the pcbs?
Good job as usual 👌🏻
Yes
Moin, ich habe vor paar Jahren das selbe gemacht, hat super funktioniert, aber was ich blöd fand war, dass man überhaupt keine Entfernungen abschstzen kann, wie wäre es mit einer stereo-version mit zwei Kameras und einem geteilten Bildschirm, und zwei Linsen, um den Abstand zum Bildschirm zu verkleinern?
Würde mich echt interessieren ob es bei dir besser war, als bei mir.
