Infrared Webcam for recording sleep

Post by derek70 » Mon Mar 05, 2012 7:01 pm

Has anyone had success finding a USB IR webcam?
What's the cheapest way to video record an entire night of sleep with 1 sec timelapse?
I am interested in the relationship between sleep position and AHI.

Yes, Just do a forum search for "infrared". There is a thread with links. I hacked a $7 webcam and use it with a black light. JayAitchsee made a infrared led source. You'll find lots of info.
