Make: Online : $35 Night vision scope, from a CVS camcorder

$35 Night vision scope, from a CVS camcorder

Remember the CVS Night vision camera project we posted about awhile back? Here's another one, it's awesome. Everett writes - "This is home-built night vision that was originally a CVS one-time-use video camera. I already have one that I hacked for repeated use and turned into an underwater camera, so this second one became night-vision." [via] Link.

I have a camera on which I completed the hardware hacking, but the software is telling me there's no known way to unlock my camera. Is anyone else having this problem? What did you do to get around it, if anything?

I don't know about that but I am interested in further information in making an underwater camera from a cvs video camera. Anyone have a link?

Does anyone know the order number for the IR LEDs? The Digikey has many types and I am a noob at this.
