Optical Chain
-
The outer ring has lenses to focus IR light, and a hole for the camera lens.
-
The six infrared LEDs are on a thick board, with an aluminum heat spreader, and a connection to two solid metal blocks attached to the sensor board.
-
The lens is manually focused and secured with what looks like hot melt glue (this may cause focus issues over time).
-
There is just one piece of filter glass, flipped in place for day mode (higher end cameras use separate glass for day and night mode).
-
The optical sensor is at the bottom of the stack. It's surrounded by a clear plastic sticker (if you know why, post in the comments!).
