Hi Deadpool! If you manage to do it, I,d really like to see what you did! i tried last year to do something similar, never found an old vhs camcorder that was alright for the project. Then, I bought a camera online that was said to be able to use night vision and a mini screen and a flashlight that was made with infrared dels. Once everything connected, I never managed to be able to see in the dark... I think that the camera must be the problem, maybe it was too cheap!? Anyway, I now reused everything to make a little camera on a fishing rod that I can use to see over obstacles. I'll have it on June 11 in Rawdon. If you find me (a taliban doing animation) I might be able to show you the different parts of the system that failed!
You can also go on instructables.com, lots of airsoft and nightvision projects there!
