Baos Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I just bought an IF security camera because some jerk keeps running over my metal fence. Any ideas on how to shoot this through a window? Anyways here is a short video of my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruadh Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I don't know that you can shoot IR through a window, the window reflects the infra-red waves back at the camera. My son is in the security monitoring business, I'll ask him about it. Is this a still camera or a security type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shai Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Neat video Baos! I don't know that you can shoot IR through a window, the window reflects the infra-red waves back at the camera. I'm curious why this might be, since the glass of the tank didn't reflect back to the camera. If it did we wouldn't have a video to look at. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruadh Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 There is a slight white wash to the vid, so you are getting some IR reflection, but maybe not enough to be of consiquence. I'd be interested to see a shot from inside to outside. I'm curious if the temp difference from inside to out would have an effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baos Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 hey nice video, are those fry from 46seconds to a min 11?Couldn't tell for sure Not sure I understand the question exactly but heres what I have in my tank. 2 tetras(used to setup the tank) corydoras sterbai australherlos red ceibal F1 and F2 fry BANJO CATFISH FOUR LINE PICTUS one squeaker albino bristlenoses Oh and as for the windows. the newer types are made to reflect IF and other types of heat but allow our visible light through. The same is not true for aquarium glass. I also found a window overlooking the fence that seems to have really old glass in my basement. However I can't find motion senser software for my tuner card. hauppauge pvr-150. I have tried lots of software but none seems able to pickup the video channel, and sometimes other channels for demo purposes. And the one 'coffeecup' that does can't seem to detect motion on some settings and it must e-mail the pictures to me, I can't just have it save the date and time.

I swear I think I see fry eyes or something like a whole swarm of them. Sorry I dont know how I managed to put all those words together, they didnt make any sense.

Baos Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 It's a natural planted tank with black soil substrate and is a little turbid(lots of small particles). With my many diggers it gets stirred up a lot. Also the video was taken right beside a bubbler and down wind from the eheim spraybar. however if you still see little eyes it's possible the banjo catfish could have spawned.
