Do you think a camera with a small TV type viewfinder could be used in IR mode in real time? Pgh....There is a small LCD screen on the camera, so I can use it in real time...or even make a short video. It's better hooked up to my PC USB port (in Webcam mode), as the picture is much bigger and clearer. If someone stands in front of you and operates an ordinary TV remote control, it looks like a flashlight, very bright....so if you had to make a flashlight out of some high power infrared LEDs, you would be able to see clearly in a darkened room. All this has been done before of course, but I just like tinkering with stuff rather than just reading about it. I would love to get a Thermal Imaging camera, but even a cheapo one costs around £2000.....the good ones, £8,000 to £16,000 !!! Simon...I've got a cat like that....it has long hair which sometimes gets clogged with those sticky, "fuzzball" type plant seeds in the summertime. She's so vicious that she needs a general anaesthetic even to get a haircut! Needless to say the claws are long, strong and totally deadly when used on someone's feet or ankles as well as ripping up carpets and soft furnishings. We call it "the claw of Death". I don't know why we keep the vicious, ungrateful swine....it's done hundreds of pounds worth of damage as well as causing pain and injury to innocent folk. I didn't even want it in the first place, but was nagged into it by my wife and daughter. [:D] Absolutely beautiful dog though! cheers, Ron
