Can someone please advise if it's possible to use an additional infrared torch to allow my old Sony Handycam DCR-HC18E to see more than just a few feet in the dark?
I'm asking because I currently have a problem with large rodents in my garden, but can't justify spending hundreds of pounds on a night vision / IR scope for my old springer air rifle.
I've heard that some people have adapted old camcorders to provide a budget method of overcoming this problem. My thinking is that if the existing infrared diode is weak, providing a more powerful alternative source of IR light will boost its capabilities.
If anyone has any experience doing this or any feedback, it would be very welcome.
Many thanks,
Bob
