Removing the Infrared Filter (continued)

To remove the infrared filter, further disassembly of the lens unit would be required. Unfortunately, the lens units on both the Kensington and Intel webcams were glued together making further disassembly difficult if not impossible.

If you have a lens unit that can be taken apart, you would want to remove the infrared filter that is part of its assembly and then reassemble the camera. You would then be ready to take infrared pictures and videos.

We will have to build a replacement lens assembly for the two webcams we have. First reassemble the cameras without the lens assembly as shown in the picture above. Then proceed to the steps below.
