With infrared we can see clear in night so taking pictures during night time should be the main purpose of this camera

[@theadventuresofwinniethepu9200]

Agreed! There's so much stuff we don't see in the night sky that these IR cameras pick up! This is a very cool feature and I did for second contemplate changing from Samsung for it but nah 😅

[@TheThursty100]

Only if there is a bright enough infrared source. When you buy a night vision camera it usually has infrared diodes around or above it to "illuminate" whatever the cameras pointing at.

[@fandyus4125]

That's not how it would work. For that it would need to take LWIR (long wave infrared), there are phones that do this already, but not this one. This one takes NIR (near infrared). Those are rays directly below what we can see, in fact, there's most likely a small overlap between what the camera can see and what you can. A 700nm laser would probably be seen by both you and the camera.

[@acash93]

Technically, it's the heat that's shining through the objects. So the camera is not seeing through the object, but the object making itself transparent

[@ZanHecht]

This is near IR, a completely different wavelength than the IR that is used by thermal cameras. The issue is that many clothing dyes absorb visible light but not IR light, making every t-shirt a white t-shirt.

People had the same reaction when cameras were first invented. There were newspapers dedicated to how they would just be used for spying and unapproved photos and there would be no other purpose for cameras. Well, we can see that they are used for good purposes in the overwhelming majority of cases, now that we understand how useful the technology is. Likewise, everyone's ignoring how useful infrared cameras can be. Detecting gas leaks, certain electrical applications, in emergencies like fires being able to tell if that doorknob is singing hot or not, if you're staying overnight in a hotel use an infrared camera to look at the room to make sure it's sanitary/safe, just to name a few uses. There's so much this tech can be used for when it's portable and seeing the idea scrapped because of these types of concerns just doesn't seem right to me.

[@MrPazzerz]

Color filter camera is a misnomer. Most cameras HAVE a filter to block the IR so that your pictures come out the way we normally see. An IR filter is nothing more than a filter that blocks light that we normally see and lets only the IR through. Also, most glass and plastic lenses won't let UV light through, but you can buy lenses made of another material that will allow you to take photos and record video that shows the UV light. It's nothing but a lens WITHOUT the IR filter. You can take apart cheap cameras and remove the lens filter. Many 'ghost hunters' do this or pay to have someone do it for them.

[@judeandon]

Just a point about where you mentioned IR lens filters for DSLR cameras - they don't actually give the same effect as an IR camera, like it seems the OnePlus has. You can't just put a filter over a regular camera and give it the ability to pick up and process IR light that was previously invisible to it: this is why special infrared cameras exist. E.g. you can buy certain DSLRs that have been professionally converted to IR cameras. You can't do the same with a lens filter though - all this will do is restrict it so that the tiny fraction of infrared that is visible to all cameras normally (like a standard phone camera being able to 'see' a TV remote's IR diode flashing) is ALL that can be seen through. This will mean in a normal room, a standard camera with an IR lens filter on the front will just show a quite dark image where you can't see much at all, but the IR diode in the TV remote will be visible as a dim spot of light. Effectively it's just isolating the little bit of 'visual IR light' the camera could already see - not letting in all the normal visual light frequencies too. But this simply won't be the same as a purpose built IR camera, in which you're seeing all the invsible IR light being processed into something us humans can understand: white light. I'm not an expert, so please do your own Googling if this interests you - but I believe the actual sensor of an IR camera is different from the sensor of a standard camera. This means that IR cameras can actually take in ALL the IR light, not just the tiny bit that standard cameras can see, and process it into a black and white looking image where the parts that are lit white are an interpretation of it actually being lit with infrared light. I realise this is a quite long-winded comment, so sorry :D. Also if I've misunderstood the point you were trying to make, sorry again! I just thought it was worth mentioning, as I know a little about it after wondering why night-vision goggles that use IR cameras are so expensive! Surely if you can just buy an IR filter, you can make your own non-electronic goggles cheap? Only after looking into it did I realise you can't magically make the human eye or a standard camera sensor have the ability to 'see' frequencies of light that are invisible to it. You need a special sensor to take that invisible light and then it can be processed into visible light that we CAN see :). Fun fact: if you have an Oculus Quest VR headset, it's got pretty decent IR cameras for hand tracking, so you could use it as a night-vision headset, especially in combination with a powerful infrared flashlight!

A camera that can go through clothes has been my worst nightmare. When I was 5-6, I used to be scared when someone took my photo and I used to think, "What if they have a camera that sees through clothes?" This is my worst nightmare come true

[@zeekjones1]

The main use for this is not interesting photos, they are fun though, but for things like seeing wires and studs in walls, or weak spots in some materials. Black heavy trash bag plastic will block visible light and only let through the IR. And if you want to mess around further, mixing some gel filters for, or just buying, a pass filter, can net a similar effect. Unfortunately even though cameras can see the broader spectrum, much of the non-visible is filtered out still by coatings. To get the full use case you'd be needing uncoated lenses and possible specialized post processing.

I can cover it while being in photochrome mode and nothing changes - actually the picture does not change at all now when switching to photochrome mode at all. It looks exactly the same as a normal camera picture. Very sad about it! Was a cool addition and now they basically deactivated a feature I payed for.

As someone who repairs high end machinery, it would be very handy to have an IR camera always in your pocket. While it definitely wouldn't replace a flir camera, it would allow you to see oil and other fluid leaks that are hard to visual spectrum distinguish, see in dark areas in a different light, and even tell if something is putting off abnormal heat (even if it won't be predator vision). I totally understand the security and privacy concerns though.

[@kraftzion]

I usually like your videos but I had to down vote this one. Things you can do with a infrared camera: keep your house from burning to the ground by scannimg breakers, wires,battery banks etc. for hot spots. It can see a bad wiring connection within a wall. It doesnt see through the wall. The bad connection produces heat that heats up the wall and you see the heat given off by the wall. Sloppy reporting, an infrared camera is more useful to me than a regular camera.
