In this project I will show you how to create a night vision device. It mainly consists of a security camera, a small screen and a custom PCB which features IR LEDs and an LED driver. After powering the device with a USB Type-C PD powerbank, you can basically use it to see in the dark. Let's get started!

Thanks to the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group for supporting this video.
