I am starting a project to use camera to capture video in NIR mode.
Budget for the camera is $200 max.
I am trying out a bullet NIR camera which works in color mode in bright
light and in B/W mode in darkness. Apparently it camera has a NIR pass
filter for B/W mode. However, I have no control over its functions, it
has just the coaxial cable coming from it. I have no control over its
working mode (visible spectrum versus the NIR spectrum) either.
NIR LEDs are also important. If the camera does not come with LEDs
itself, I will then have to hack some on to the camera for IR illumination.
Can anyone suggest cameras that can be controlled (shutter, aperture,
gain, visible/NIR mode, etc.) via the computer and which work in NIR
mode? Or perhaps a different newsgroup or a webpage with a forum for
such topics? Any related comments are also welcome.
