Hello everyone. Yes I am starting down this road like so many have done before me. I have a box of reels on top of my wardrobe and my desk is covered in electric motors, lenses, led's, arduinos and sundry parts from a Eumig projector.
I read lots of stuff online but for some reason most of it was from 10 or more years ago. I think it was probably these old posts that led me to seek out an SPC880NC Philips webcam, they were very thought highly of it seems. Having got one and got it converted to an SPC900NC, I have to say that I am a little disappointed in its performance. I suspect that these old cameras may have been overtaken by better models in recent years. Perhaps someone could comment.
I have a decent enlarger lens mounted on the projector and I have a motor ready for mounting as well. I could just go ahead and rip the existing lens off my webcam and try things out but I have heard that I need an infra red filter between the lens and the imaging sensor. If it has one at the moment I suspect it is incorporated in its standard webcam lens, so if I remove it I will have to work out a way of fitting a new one.
Could someone tell me:- Do I need an IR filter? If so, how should I go about sourcing one and fitting it?
I am very pleased to have found this forum. Some nice up to date info here.
