Question: Tool catalogues sell a camera on a stick for poking into places the sun
don't shine (like box sections on cars to check for rust etc...well at least
that's what I'll be using it for...honest!) i was thinking about using a
b&w security camera and a small bulb taped to a bendy piece of metal rod.
anyone got any better ideas?
Answer:I once tried this idea using a very cheap, small security camera. It needed
no extra light because it came with infra-red LEDs fitted for night use.
The main problem was that it was out of focus for very close objects (less
than a foot away) which makes it unsuitable for your intended use.
It may work with one of those "pinhole" type cameras that don't have a
lens - but I have never tried it.
