Removing the infrared filter of the USB camera
We can make the normal USB camera an infrared camera by removing the infrared filter inside it (a cameras with infrared filtering lens cannot be used).
Disassemble the camera.
Loosen the screw on the side of the lens to remove the lens.
If the lens is held by glue instead of screw, remove the glue with nippers.
The square glass is the infrared filter. Break four sides to remove the adhered parts with nippers.
Remove the filter and its fragments. Reassemble the lens.
If the filter is circular, poke it with nippers to create cracks and remove it.
