Home made Night Vision for all!
This idea has been bouncing around in my head for quite some time, now its time for it to all fall out!
The idea, a super low cost and EFFECTIVE add-on NV system for all. This is no 500 yard system nor a scope less system
The requirements.
1) Cost is around $100 bucks, batteries included
2) Min range of 100 yards at 6x
3) Can be used DAY and Night
4) Must have a video out, so one could record with it
5 Small, simple to operate a single on/off switch, maybe separate switch for light or maybe even a small laser.
6) No rats nest of wires with plugs and connectors all over the place, all wires cut and then soldered together
7) Connects to gun with quick release mounts, no tools needed
I think it can be done.

This whole project is highly dependent on the above cameras. If the cameras are turds, then this 100$ project is over.
I can then just add this camera to the home security system.
Don’t order or buy anything till I get to play with the cameras..
The camera and light will be the stumbling blocks.
