How to remove the Infrared filter from a logitech quickcam


I removed the IR lens in my logitech quick cam, its very easy. 



First unplug the camera, avoid tuching the sircuits, static electrisity is not your friend...

1 loosen the shield around the camera.
2 use a small star screwdriver to loosen the screw thats inside the hole
3 when the camera is open, locate the two screws that holds the lens on the back of circuit board
4 when lens housing is loose, twist it against the clock until its opens up
5 locate the IR filter, its square with a magic purple light
6 use a small wooden stick to pop up the lens, (do not use metal, if you do then you will destroy the glass and you cant restore the camera, then dooming you to live with bats, vampire and B humans in the dark for the rest of your life!!
7 do the same as pt 4-1 in opposite direction
8 turn of all lights, find a remote control, push it and feel the power of cats night-vision, or maybe you are the next David Attenborough
9 For daylight use a exposed color-film as visible-light filter.
10 do not use this to surveillance your neighbors, surveillance is bad, Bad !
