To see infrared with a camera, you can use a specialized infrared camera or modify a regular camera. Many standard cameras have an infrared filter that blocks IR light, which you can remove. Additionally, using an IR-pass filter (which blocks visible light and lets through IR light) in front of the lens can help. This setup lets you capture infrared images for various applications like night vision, thermal photography, and checking remote controls. Always handle camera modifications with care to avoid damage.
