Where to Buy a Cheap Infrared Camera (Why our Cheap, Low-Cost Infrared Cameras are a Great Buy)
We don't like calling our products "cheap" but because the Angels & Ghosts Store offers digital Infrared cameras in a much more diverse format, it allows us to sell them for cheap when compared to expensive IR conversion cameras. So, if you have ever wanted an Infrared camera for ghost hunting or artistic photography, now you can buy an Infrared camera that's not costly! Read on for a full explanation of why we can offer our digital IR cameras at such a low price.
The Difference - most of our specialty cameras our sold as full spectrum cameras, meaning that the sensor (eye) is able to see Near Ultraviolet, the Visible spectrum, as well as the Near Infrared. If you purchase this model of digital camera from us, we also offer an IR Pass Filter Kit that can be purchased and easily added to the camera, converting it to an Infrared camera for cheap. Here's the best part: This Infrared Pass Filter is removable, allowing you, the user, to have the unique advantage of being able to alter what range the camera can see - something not available elsewhere with inexpensive digital cameras. If you buy both the IR pass filter and full spectrum camera, you will have a full spectrum camera and an Infrared camera in one unit!

What Does the Infrared Pass Filter Do?
After the Infrared pass filter is added to one of our cameras, the visible light is blocked out. The camera is only able to see the Near Infrared range of light which is what you want for Infrared camera photography. If you purchase one of our 8, 10 or 12 megapixel cameras, you will find that you can change the hue of the Infrared photographs by adjusting the camera's white balance setting.
The following are some examples of the IR pass filter used in conjunction with a 10.1 mp full spectrum camera.

Left:
The first Infrared photo shows a pink hue when photographed using the "Daylight" setting under White Balance.
The second Infrared photo exhibits a red hue when the White Balance setting of the Infrared camera is set to "Cloudy."
This third Infrared photo of the same subject now has a violet hue after setting the White Balance of the digital camera to "Flourescent."
The last picture was taken with an Infrared camera, using the White Balance set at "Incandescent."
It's important to note that Infrared photos can also be taken into an art program and hue-adjusted to produce a multitude of colors. (See Infrared Cameras for some examples.)
