If and when a fabric or pattern will camouflage in the NIR, depends on the environment. To take the following pictures, I modified a DSLR. I removed the internal NIR-blocking filter and attached a filter in front of the lens, that only allows NIR from 720nm to pass. More information to this can be found […]

In times of thermal devices it seems like the near infrared camouflage is useless. At least dozens of keyboard operators try to tell me this. I assume they use the word “useless” as a exaggeration. But hey, let’s talk about that topic. With our human eyes we are only able to see a narrow area […]
