Slugfoot 73 Posted March 25, 2013 Ahem.... :rolleyes:I remember that guide from a while ago. :)It's not quite what I'm suggesting. My idea is little more than taping an IR torch to a digital camera of some sort and viewing via the LCD display. I thought this would be more practical since there's no soldering or fiddling with circuit boards required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ohly 26 Posted March 25, 2013 i'm in a class at college, no time to read all the thread .... but with this suggestion, have you ever heard of digital video camera that have a built in night vision ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slugfoot 73 Posted March 25, 2013 Not hand-held ones, though I imagine they must exist.I've seen small security cameras with IR LED's around them for sale on Ebay:-http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2ec3d86d0cProblem is, led's are weak and I think some of them glow in the dark - which would be undesirable ingame, I think.

aksuduud 64 Posted March 25, 2013 Wouldnt work outdoors past a few meters unless you have powerful IR lamps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slugfoot 73 Posted March 25, 2013 Wouldnt work outdoors past a few meters unless you have powerful IR lamps.Correct. Though, I think a powerful conventional lamp with an IR filter over the lens would do, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidcactus 719 Posted March 26, 2013 Hmmm... when I first started reading this thread i was wondering how old the dude was that originally posted it but now I'm kinda buying the idea.. its sounds like bs with the camera thing and infrared but if others tried it and say it works well thats pretty far out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgeesio 1034 Posted March 26, 2013 has anyone not noticed the whole big problem yet?99.9 percent of server are never dark :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slugfoot 73 Posted March 26, 2013 Lol. I don't play the game (yet) so I don't know how many servers are set up in permanent daylight. (Kinda goes against the whole 'realism' thing, IMO.)I just read around the forums and saw that folks seemed to covet NVG's and thought this might be a good alternative until a player gets some.Perhaps if stuff such as this were more obtainable then people might want to play in the dark more, maybe....I dunno.

Slugfoot 73 Posted March 26, 2013 that sucks.I'd be interested to know the actual percentage of servers that do operate a day and night cycle and the reasons why people do or don't play on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted March 26, 2013 It's the same reason there are so many "Always spawn with dual AS50s" and "5 million vehicles" servers; A large portion of the current DayZ playerbase has missed the point entirely, and they get real pissy when you point it out.I'm sure 99.9% 24/7 daylight is a slight exaggeration, but it's far more common than it should be.
