How to see through material with a Night Vision Camcorder

X-Ray Vision effect from a Night Vision Camcorder due to different wavelengths of light
W850 Panasonic with a 950nm IR Filter
This is demonstrating a cool effect for different light wavelengths . Nothing more

[@johnnyg3814]

Thank you for the upload! This was the FIRST non-BS video I've found regarding seeing through clothes with a night vision enabled camera. Has anyone thought of using an IR *spotlight* in conjunction with one of these cameras?? Or, is it possible to convert a 500,000candlepower+ spotlight into an IR spotlight using some type of lens or filter??

[@scannerguy1968]

Thanks, I have a video on where I use what is called a ghost light from a company. It's the brightest IR light I have found. Can light a field up at night. Never tried it during light with the filter though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKaWlIJoYrh1rZI

[@joshrichards8889]

Yes you can using blue and red theatrical film just Google it

[@WintersArcher]

When you put the filter on does it make that weird alien sounding noise every time?

[@scannerguy1968]

Yes, it does every time. The 1st time I heard it i dropped the camera on my foot!

[@WintersArcher]

scannerguy1968 OMG, well at least you can use the camera to see if anything was broken! :P

[@MrMambott]

I here that every time my GF says she loves me O o

You have a rabbit on your back?

This is the technique I found very handy to resolve a problem as I am diabetic. The problem was that when injecting insulin into my stomach I would sometimes hit a small bunch of surface Capillaries, which then would bleed and cause bruising and be quite painful. With the IR camera I can see through the first layers of my skin and see the capillaries beneath it in order to not hit them. I can also see some areas where there may actually be more nerves because there are more Capillaries together. So this is a very practical use for this..

[@SamuelCalifornia]

If that is true then people should be told about that.

[@85Studios]

SamuelCalifornia Well the problem with it is that it is just easier to do multiple sticks until you find a place that doesn't hurt so much because you don't have enough hands to pinch the skin, hold the needle and hold the camera at the same time and if you are like me Injecting insulin is very private. I won't let anyone be near me when I am injecting.

[@76097]

What's the thing on the girls right sight,ear level,at about2'10?

[@perryhaen2164]

its a tatoo

[@85Studios]

Perry Haen I think you missed my point. you can see just a little below the surface of the skin with these cameras, so you can see the shallow veins and capillaries.(mostly capillaries) and so you won't hit them and leave a huge bruise. It is very helpful.

[@368engbn]

Does the filter come with the scary music or do I have to add this myself?

[@Twobarpsi]

Add it yourself.

[@jconan28]

Conspiracy theory music makes everything better.

[@DivergentDroid]

That was really cool. Makes me wonder what we are missing not being able to sense the world with the full electro-magnetic spectrum.

[@rick15666]

I think, scratch that, I know/believe there’s a whole lot more we’ll be able to “sense” in my lifetime.

[@johnshackleton323]

Apparently some or the other University is South Africa developed a device with which you can see right through a wall. I'm telling you!!! They even built a wall that's 3 foot thick and they used this device and they could see perfectly through that wall. From what I heard they have named this new device a "WINDOW".

[@Awesomelord101]

neat where do i get a Window, i never heard of a window hehehhe

[@johnjones4825]

Fuck off. Where was the first heart transplant done? Where is the biggest petrol (gas to you dumb yanks) from coal plant? Where was the first automatic swimming pool cleaner made?

[@the.magnus]

John Jones wahahaha automatic pool cleaner, really scratching the bottom of the bucket for African inventions

[@brettd8113]

Invictus Dominatus lmao ... they're living in stick huts and starving with cows all around and y'all are dumb Yanks ..lol I must be a dumb Rebel or hick lol

[@Old52Guy]

The first non-hype non-BS demo about this. This is insane!

[@MikeKraze]

I feel like I'm going to die in 7 days after watching this video.

[@BiloHazard]

the ring stuff huh? lol

[@P-Bass_Pete]

it's been 2 months since this post, R.I.P Mike Kraze.

[@MikeKraze]

Mike is no longer with us. -His widow

[@dzsquad1965]

+Mike Kraze do I have 7 days left to live also since I saw this video?

[@historyhunter5215]

Mike Kraze Wanna play a game?

[@Thomaz654]

That's pretty amazing. I bet you can see through tinted windows as well. I'm sure the Government has cameras with even better capabilities...

[@AncientPurpleDragon]

This video should be renamed 'How to make everything appear slightly green'.

[@S0LIXUS]

u do realize that's what night vision does right?

[@AncientPurpleDragon]

S0LIXUS Read the title...

[@S0LIXUS]

AncientPurpleDragon i love how you're trying to make me sound foolish .. meanwhile you still have that comment.. i've read the title.. i'm well aware of the title.. and i'm aware of what the video content is.. are you? obviously not.

[@jayleonard6227]

AncientPurpleDragon

[@hawkeye221cav]

I have your back Ancient. I also got the sarcasm. :D

[@Bobby8451]

This shows that there is light passing through things being reflected back to us without us detecting it. Here's a neat little trick to capture that reflection we can't detect with our own eyes. So there's away around anything if we put our minds to it. LOL I like things like this. I appreciate this vid, good job.

[@mrdennisday]

Did you know the filter is adding an eerie soundtrack to your video when you use it?

[@solngv8]

Is the creepy music optional when you buy infrared filters?

[@BiloHazard]

you can get it for free with that girl too !

[@SamuelCalifornia]

Did the salesperson try to sell you creepy music? What store is that?

[@gorp27]

I had read somewhere that an invisible man (woman) would not be completely invisible because the eyes absorb light and would show up as voids, and the washout part of the video demonstrates that pretty well. great vid.

[@E1war]

Or the invisible person would just be blind because they cannot absorb light.

[@OutlawDJinPA]

Interesting video, thank you. When you were filming the sky and surrounding countryside I was expecting to see Bilbo or Frodo to come walking down the road. Neat effect.

[@alanhann3397]

Mark

[@k7iq]

I love the way you use the music in there!

[@Chuck59ish]

I used to play with IR filters 25 years ago, it's nothing new. But it's fun.

[@a.r.moyapapitawaira7369]

Bro one of the coolest experiments with old style camera

[@YAOG]

The sky in IR footage reminds me of the intro to the old show 'Tales from the Dark Side'.

[@trendgil]

Shut up

[@YAOG]

trendgil STALKER! lol

[@phoenixnightowljr.2333]

Ever try different UV-range filters for both lenses & lights? You might just be surprised at what you can see with different UV wavelengths.

[@garyjohnson9037]

Having a good imagination and sound effects also helps one see thru the material...

[@tobiasm1776]

So, it lets you see through sheer fabric that you can already see through - only more? Wow. The possibilities for you must be endless. :oP

[@captain_redpill8983]

The paranormal sounds don't help at all.

[@Phil-ek4vr]

If nothing else, that filter used in night vision mode produces a really nice in camera or practical visual effect.

[@frankwilsonii7399]

I wondered about the scary music at first but it all made sense when you showed the sky and woods. pretty creepy with that filter on

[@deeznutz2051]

Did Jesse "The Body" Ventura do the voice over on this one?

[@louisborselio8608]

This could be the start of having X-ray specs like they used to sell in the comic books, that actually work.

[@robbrown6495]

So you take a camera , switch on the infra red mode then block the infra red with a filter?

[@chillpill918]

No, the filter is blocking out the white spectrum and just allowing the Infra red through

[@Mutorcsym1391]

Great video!! Could I suggest you do a video of the sun and and maybe do a nighttime video of the moon and the stars with that 950 filter on you camera. I think it would be a cool effect. thank you.

[@CobraCommander2003]

I admit that I clicked on the video because I thought the girl was cute... She is, but I liked the video. I've known that this was possible since maybe the late 90's (maybe) when I think it was a Sony camcorder actually made it into mainstream news. I thought the creepy music was a nice touch and the sunglasses disappearing was something I've never seen before.

[@SettimaLegione]

I well know X-ray vision can actually make trasparent and see-trought: fog, dark glasses and dark windows of cars. On "kaya optics" site there are some intersting examples and explanations, if you are curious about...

[@suki6210]

I thought you were Jesse Ventura with a new haircut when I first started watching this….your voice sounds EXACTLY like him !!!

[@henerygreen578]

WOW...for a moment i thought you were going to tell us you can also read minds with that filter.....

[@theopen2003]

Pretty neat. You could also emphasize the light difference on a regular colored photo with Photoshop software.

[@snukemmsmoxx6384]

jeez! thanks for ruin my night sleep with those bgm

[@romeogoerring8267]

love the dramatic music

[@jan_phd]

InfraRED, at 950 nanometer, is 1,000th the wavelength of the millimeter scanners at airports.

[@lulurobot2065]

Why the creepy music? Because that's the sound you'll think of when someone's seeing through your clothes with night vision!

[@dicbyrd]

How does that filter make the music change ?

[@sherinforw1387]

Can you explain what "night modes" has the panasonic 850? This is strange because "x-ray vision" normally can't be obtained from commercial cams, because they have exposure locked to max value during the "night mode"... ( With Sony cameras, for example, some hardware modifications are needed... ) May be the W859 let you control the exposure?

[@normski262]

theres lots of poelpe who use Sony camcorders with nightshot, who use them during the day, without any problems at all, just don't point them at the SUN. and always put the IR filter on first before turning it all on..

[@sherinforw1387]

Norm Vigas Yes but, as I know, this is the first camera under 500$ with IR enabled since 1990. I got it and is a good cam for the price. IR mode, anyway, doesnt have any regulation. Can be used under the sunlight only is you place a filter. Otherwise image is completely white.

[@fungo6631]

Did you even watch the video? OP literally showed how it was washed out without the IR filter.

[@BarzOnTheWindow1]

I recall Sony recalling a camera back in the late 80's/early 90's because it could see through clothing ... wonder how many of those are still out there?

[@johndube3422]

And when the did the recall, those out in the community went up in value on EBay. They did not work on all clothing, only with certain materials.

[@RobertoBeretta148]

Looking at my "recommendations" on the side of this youtube page I just realized that I've been peeing the wrong way my whole life.

[@johnromaine4032]

I'll bet the X-ray glasses that were in comic books were a lot cheaper.

[@green1982]

Jesse Ventura,when did you start doing camera reviews?

[@rogueoperative9418]

Hey Tom, Im having a cookout this weekend.. bring the girls on by! Dress code is black, tell them to wear black.

[@markjulius2006]

What's with the weird music every time you show the camera recording in infrared? Is it supposed to make the video better? It's annoying.

[@CasualDudeGaming]

sUPPOSE TO MAKE the video creepy dumb fuck. Are you that slow?

[@SamuelCalifornia]

Yes, it is annoying. Totally unnecessary. I noticed background audio even at the beginning when he was talking. Totally unnecessary and annoying. Well actually there is nothing creepy or dramatic or unusual about the video so the audio is used to try to make it seem creepy.

[@SamuelCalifornia]

Actually intelligent people are capable of disconnecting the audio and video so the creepy audio just seems annoying. Also, it does not require much intelligence to call someone a dumb fuck, it is done when a person has noting relevant to say.

[@wallstreetfox3]

Jason coming to get her.

[@NziHunter]

That's neat. Hey, can it see through the scratch-off material on lottery tickets if you line it up with an infrarared heat source in the far ground behind the tickets?

[@scannerguy1968]

Hope not, doubt it otherwise someone would of already let everyone know

[@greenjoe4206]

you just entered the twilight zone.

[@TurinTurambarTolkien]

She wasn't bad.

[@MrSpaceRatt]

Wow! I could see right through her glasses

[@SF-fb6lv]

So, to be clear: 850nm won't work, and is 950nm the BEST passband?

[@60guitarzan]

I could see the government using these to see through burkas. This way, you can identify someone, without infringing on their rights, as some people cover there faces, leaving only holes for their eyes. NOT condoning discrimination, just saying it's a useful tool for identification.

[@rbenson1208]

I would have that camera checked out. Whenever you use it with the filter it makes a spooky sound.

[@knuckle47]

Neat stuff...viewing invisible light! Did anyone ever say you sound a lot like Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura?

[@brunster64]

The IR footage with the filter reminded me of the film "They Live" when the put the sunglasses on.

[@mauriciofranchi3374]

What kind of filter do you place in front of lens? Tks

[@SussexUFOS]

Hey Scanner Guy, could you tell me please if all these type of Filters screw in? because I have the same camera you do, but I can't find a vendor in the UK that sells your brand of filter. Thanks

[@SussexUFOS]

Nevermind found one :)

[@yudiherdiana4979]

ohh the background sound...feels like I'm about to see an alien... :)

[@DonALofts]

How did I get here???????

[@darrinlong5007]

I see someone commented on these cams being able to see thru skin. Mine could see through skin in a mostly dark room in night vision mode without the ir filter. I stumbled across this accidentaly while filming q girl. I could see every vein in her body.

[@joebaumann3620]

So they made these cameras with a feature so you can't see through some things?

[@agm6095]

Is using "night vision" recommended during daylight hours. I would think that the sensor might get damaged with all that extra light hitting the sensor.

[@fungo6631]

Just don't point it at the sun.

[@HaunterOfKanto]

Looks pretty sick

[@backstab86]

well.. that tattoo could be seen in broad daylight too x)

[@relaxsleep9189]

Why the 'spooky' music? this is well explained

[@siantar2]

HELLO i have SONY HXR NX1 & SONY DCR SD 1000p , i want using shooting outdoor ( night ) , i don't have IR filter , what should i do ? can you help me ..thx

[@tedbert2836]

You can see through the clothing either way. It's not like you are viewing through a solid object where nothing was seen through before the lens addition.

[@narcovice]

with this filter you can have the same effect with out night shot. with a regular digital camera. or video camera. this filter lets you see the flames from a large fire in broad daylight but with out it you only see black smoke. when videoing the flames the smoke is not seen im never able to figure out why day time cant see the fmaes but at night you can

[@shadowfoxcorp]

something out there somewhere may have had to develop sight to view in IR do to lack of visible white light.

[@boogerwelder]

Wouldn't it be easier and less expensive to just have her take off the t-shirt? /sarcasm

[@greenjoe4206]

hahahaha lolololololol

[@brennadelmenhorst125]

+greenjoe420 99

[@grumpygamer6264]

You think this guy could have her take it off? Doubt it!

[@JaakkoF]

Less expensive to buy a night vision camera and all the equipment than to get a woman to take her shirt off.

[@crazycountdowns6812]

Can you turn on the night vision while recording, or do you have to stop and turn it on?

[@manniefresh3425]

what's with the creepy stalker music

[@xpmule]

Because it's a creepy stalker video..

[@juz1ish]

We can catch slenderman with this filter..

[@normski262]

what camcorder are you running ?

[@charlesneely4008]

dude you got Jessie venture voice

[@catsinheat]

In the last case the black material appeared to be very shear?

[@LovingLisaPereira]

I have a Sony CCD-TRV308, will it work?

[@JimJepson]

Why the stupid suspenseful background music?

[@TexasBadBoyz]

How would the sun look looking through that ?

[@1FishinAddict]

Anyone else troubled by him trying to see through his daughter’s shirt ?

[@nashvilleoutlaw]

Oh wow I'm so offended he showed how you can kinda see a normal shirt under a normal shirt and through sunglasses 🙄 yes sooo creepy... Sure it would be a different story if she was braless with nothing but a black shirt but come on get real 😂😂

[@kaisamuels9382]

Nah

[@JTTJ17]

Shut up and let the man "work"

[@rob4n12]

Biden

[@totofromoz5412]

​@@nashvilleoutlawHe s waiting for that day when she has less layers underneath.

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

Very surprising. Thanks for the insight.

[@jonpatterson5668]

This is creepy on so many levels

[@rainbowranddy]

What's the metallic scraping sound?

[@CV1989Colt]

Funny. Her head is angled different in the picture in picture screens. I had to stop and look a couple of times at that. In regular mode, her head is more to the right and in the night vision mode her head is straight at the camera. Oops, details.

[@yuryastronoff542]

In result you got some kind of the mystic vision on simple home camera. Great thing.

[@badlandskid]

Where are they now? Ventura edition.

[@genesis4206]

Sounds like Jesse Ventura

[@dustinheuterman]

that soundtrack does sure make it sound sp00ky!

[@Chalky.]

Good to see Jesse Ventura is interested in more than just conspiracies.

[@RumblyGreenEarth]

that dramatic noise cracked me up so bad

[@BryonLape]

What's with the creepy music?

[@Kevinegan1]

You Perv! I wonder where I put my old camcorder. Yeah, I'm going to do it just for the cool noise. That's cool & creepy.

[@Spillage66]

You are wrong, of course. All it is doing is intensifying the image. You can actually see everything in the normal image, albeit dimmer.

[@emanemanresuresu]

Spillage66 But you can actually see through stuff that lets IR pass. For example: Coke will be like water with a camera that can "see" complete IR.

[@coltanlutsey110]

does this work with any night vision equipped camcorder

[@SamuelCalifornia]

Would an IR webcam connected to a smartphone or tablet work?

[@scannerguy1968]

Should work as long as the webcam has IR mode

[@dmj271095]

why is the music so dramatic

[@walkerw]

I don't think that it will work at night, because you're using the daylight to see through.....I think.... but I'm not sure 😃

[@M0DERN_B0REFARE]

This shit has been around for a couple of decades...LOL It's the reason Sony stopped making night vision capable camcorders many, many years ago.

[@HXD90]

So if she weren’t wearing the purple shirt, we would’ve had quite the show??

[@matagalpino71]

love the sound Effects !!!!!!!!!!!!!
