| The camera case pops open quite easily and the camera board is loose inside (no screws) |
 |
| First I tried unscrewing the lens but it was glued to the lens holder so I just ended up destroying the plastic. |
 |
| When removing the cover, take care not to break the little snaplocks like I did.. |
 |
| Instead of trying to remove the lens I just removed the whole assemly. It's mounted using some sort of silicone so I just pulled it off with a pair of pliers. The infrared filter is now clearly visible in red. |
 |
| I removed the filter by pressing a tiny screwdriver along the edges of the filter, shattering it and removing the pieces/dust. (removed pieces of the filter is visible in the picture) |
 |
| To the right you can se the silicone still left on the PCB where the lens assembly was mounted. After removing the infrared filter I put the lens assembly back in the silicone "holder" on the PCB. |
 |
| And fastened it with some hot glue. |
 |
| Unfortunately I ended up with this image. Lots of stains/spots and a very short focus distance. So I removed the lens assembly again and saw that there was alot of tiny dust particles on the image sensor. These could easily be removed. To fix the focus I had to move the lens closer to the image sensor. This meant that I had to carve away some plastic at the bottom of the lens assembly (the part that touches the PCB) with a small knife. |
 |
| I put the lens back and the focus distance was better and the spots gone. There is a slight blurring in the right hand side of the image due to a small scratch I happend to make in the lens when removing the IR-filter. |

Just did the same operation, I should have Google'd first. I had a little bigger housing that fitted a wider lens, used epoxy to glue it onto the pcb as it fitted outside the remaining glue from the original housing.It works perfectly, not modified the shell yet. Original lens to the right for comparison. http://forumbilder.se/DBI1L/dcs-930l-mod.jpg
I've looking for removing the IR filter for long and I just did it. Unfortunately while taking apart the IR filter it looks like I did scratched the lens, so now everything looks blurry and out of focus. the sensor is clean but definitively I scratched the lens (plastic) badly.
Any suggestions of a lens I might use over the sensor? I have IR capability now, but no image definition at all
I have been struggling with the same problem for a long time, and today I resolved it because I had the guts to modify the lens mount. What I think that happens, is that the light path is changed when we remove the glass filter. The focal distance becomes smaller. We have to remove part of the lens mount to resolve this. See my last picture on this webpage: http://www.geertlangereis.nl/Electronics/Infrared_webcam/Infrared_Webcam_en.html . The webpage is work in progress...
You might get away with something like this if you scratched the original lens.
Mine got scratched badly it produced blurry image??? Is there any other alternative.... mine is also glued to the lens mount??
I have go throgh this page and its blog for more follow our blog:
The Pcb testing piece above has been all carefully evade and understood that is mean to study how all Pcb test works are originated and then those are regulated form all professional point of view as it can be safe for kids and PCB lawyer students who are studying in any school or college as they can avoid all toxic substances and items that are always found Pcb removal and time.
I have goen through your site, this is a good one.for more information please follow our blog:-The Testing for pcbs member directly above has remained all prudently dodge and unstated that is cruel to training how completely School pcb test are initiated and at that time those are structured form all proficient point of understanding as it may be safe for kids besides Free pcb test students that are cramming in any seminary or college by way of they can evade all toxic materials found Pcbs school period.
Heat it up first.
With direct heat the lens assembly just pulls away.
Start unclipping the sides first when taking the casing off.
I Used the lens from an Xbox One Kinect 2.0.
