mick miller Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I've looked and can find items similar but none with the same specs as the one I used in my set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanM Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Ok thanks Mick, could you give me the website address of a similar one, just because the camera you have seems very sensitive, and anything like that would be great! Thanks for putting up with all of my questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanM Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Cheers Bob, do I just ring up to order?

evo Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 it depends on three things as to what distance you can see with Infrared, firstly you must have a decent low lux camera that will see infrared this is a must, because if your camera is naff then you can throw as much IR light out of any torch and the camera just wont see it, secondly you need a scope that the lenses are not coated in the coatings that stop infrared light getting through , you will find that the cheaper 3x9x56 scopes work well, thirdly you will need a torch that will give out a decent light that is not too powerful so as to bleach everything out but is bright enough for you to see your quarry at different distances and also show eye shine to further distances, now my setup ,, I have three different torches , not because I need them because I don't really, I just carry my big 66mm crelant to use as a spotter, I mainly use the 501b with an IR oslon black and I carry a modified uniquefire torch for close in shooting and also as a spare incase my battery fails me, now with my setup I can see eyeshine to 200yrds no problem but for shooting I would safely say 120 yrds for clear visibility,with the crelant 66mm I can increase the distance by about 40yrds which is more than ample for rimfire ranges hope this helps mate cheers Bob ps ,,just ring moreton and mention my nightbuild and he,ll know exactly which camera you are after, don't forget to get it with a 12mm lens,,,, cheers EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanM Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thanks Bob, just ordered a camera, they were very helpful. I already have a lens that I can use, but the person made sure that I had a 12mm lens so that it's up for the job, so he knew what I wanted it for! With that camera, a Hawke night-eye, and a xsearcher, do you reckon beyond 200 yards is possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Make sure the lens you use is ir corrected. I can't find any links to cameras but have asked a pal to email one over. It's about 70 quid though! Let's be honest here, the ns200 uses an inferior camera and lens to the one you're about to buy and makes it out to 160 plus on x8 mag. You should be okay I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanM Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thanks Mick, the lens has ir written in it so should hopefully be ok! Is the camera that your mate is emailing over better than evo's camera? Now I have too many to chose from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Nathan,if you have ordered the s190swx camera you will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanM Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thanks Bob, will post results as soon as! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just go with evo's for now, the important thing is to build one, get the confidence up and then you will find you can't help tinkering! My unit is undergoing a radical rework, I hope to be able to completely do away with the scope mounted screen and condense the whole thing to under 100mm, eyepiece included. Time will tell if it works, but it'll be fun trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12boreblue Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 If any of you are interested I have approximatley 6 old black and white cctv cameras I think with either 1/2" or 1/3rd ccds,dome type. I also have a box of old lenses about 10 in total of varying focal lengths, both fixed and variable. If you can get here you can have a rummage through them and take some home.
