Phones can pick up ir.
Ir lenses filter out most visable light so the camera sensor ( the part in the camera/ph that the lens focus light onto, that is light sensitive and converts light into electrical data, previously the job of film with one pixel doing not quite as well the job of a grain on film) Isn't overwhelmed with light that overpowers the ir light. You should probly look up smart ph camera apps too. Some are designed with ir light programs incorporated. |

Ir clip on lenses for smart phones, designed to filter out visable light so as it doesn't over ride the senors for ir light are cheap as chips

Putting a sensor with lens directly behind the scope and using a reversing camera gets great results. I compared my old setup with my DNT Zulus, and as long as your sensor is good and lined up well, it'll work well.

Yeah from my research i have been doing over the last few hours has come up with pretty much the same thing. I have seen people putting old floppy disk drive film over the camera to block out the light and only let in the infrared rays..but these people use it in the direct sunlight so i doubt it would work at night with my infrared spotlight

Hi Nunga, you get a black and white image with Pard and Arken Zulus. The sensors on these are recognizing IR wavelength light (outside of visbile light spectrum). Your phone and GoPro sensors are detecting visible wavelength (i.e. replicating what a human eye sees). They may not be able to detect / record IR light.
https://paulillsley.com/GoPro_Infrared/ "GoPro cameras have a filter installed inside the camera to block infrared wavelengths from reaching the sensor, but often these internal filters aren't 100% effective and do let a small amount of infrared information through." Googling the same for a smartphone camera indicates most also have IR filters - but perhaps not on both the front and back cameras. Cheers

You might find it has an IR filter.
When I had used sensor boards to make my NV I always had to remove the IR filter which is usually a slightly tinted looking piece of glass over the sensor. This makes it very sensitive to IR. So unfortunately I don't think phones work well for NV setups due to this filter.

Found this on web
That's right! Your regular DSLR could very well be an infrared photography DSLR. If your digital camera is sensitive to infrared light, then all you need is an infrared filter (just as with black and white infrared film) and you're good to go. |

The night vision scope I have has a memory card slot for footage.
I've never used it bit I'm assuming it's taking its information from the screen display data stream. |
