sorry...wrong tab... look HERE for more in depth stuff about the CVS hack - dan_s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You got to admit..this is a pretty geeky hack... I doubt if more than 2% of the G4 crowd ever even cracked open a device on purpose let alone did some soldering.
Just my $0.02 - CaptainBryan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You do realize that Infared and Night Vision are two totally different things, right?
- d0rk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0glad to be of service, but i highly doubt this is the innocent, parallel occurrence that it is being sold as. in the first article from G4 about the hack, the camerhacks forum is linked as "more ideas". it is clear that you visit the forum, and know what goes on there. i guess we are to assume that you just stumbled upon this idea all by yourself.. just like the other hacks you've made to the camcorder that were originally done on camerahacks well before you did them, and in the same order, i might add.
give me a ***** break. half-truth is not truth, jackass. - Philoushka, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Anything that Kevin P guy touches turns into an awkward segue.
- MacGyver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nice idea, but annoying that they didn't show any pics/video of it working.
- drandolph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, bad news travels fast! It all started when I found out that they Dugg the CVS night vision camera. I thought it was great because I read Digg just about everyday. Then I found a post by “d0rk�and I was disappointed because it appears that someone out there already did this hack back in August. So I want to give credit where credit is due.

So I recall my self proclaimed title of “First to create an Infrared CVS Camera� and hand that off to “boodle�. I also would like it to be known that no one at AOTS or myself had any knowledge of his projects.
He also made a stereoscopic CVS setup, but unlike some other people I see little resemblance between it and the 3D CVS camera I did. The closest I can see is that we both had two cameras to mod.
As for the original CVS USB hack, watch the video before you say I never give credit. I mentioned camerahacks.com on the show that I found all of the information at camerahacks.com and it was even in the article.
So if you visit www.whatthecrap.net you will find “mike��boodle�(I assume) with his articles. He also did a macro project that deserves a look at.
I really want to give credit where it is due. If you ever find a project of mine that someone has already has done in the future go ahead and let me know. - salweem, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Everything on G4 sucks except Call for Help.
- Bad_Ace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0d0rk,
I second your statement.
This is no coincidence.
It wouldn’t take long to give credit on the TV show.
Look G4 if you’re looking to others to create your content, at least give credit. G4 fired/drove-off there real talent and now resort to plagiarizing. - mtusk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0h8 g4.
- TheStooge1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hmmm... Alot of work when you can simply purchase one with nightvision...
Now make it see through clothing, then I will digg. - XorSystem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0although I am not a fan of AOTS, I definitely dugg this story
- munboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1G4 sucks.
Once I saw that it was on G4TV.com, I closed the page.
G4 sucks. - RpgActioN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Anything that Kevin P guy touches turns into an awkward segue."
Are you aware of the definition of segue? - peerk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There was something like this on digg a long time ago except with webcams.
I played around with 2 webcams and my digital camera and discovered that they saw IR with out any modifications. - xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0G4 sucks
- gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Excuse me but........ ***** G4 and Attack Of The ***** (aots)
- gkwait, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I would digg but F G4!

chick out the link for more in depth stuff about the CVS hack - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It's a G4 link. ***** G4!
- dna42fan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1ITS NOT ABOUT IF G4 SUCKS!
- gamabunta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wasn't this on last week's TWiT? Figures G4 is full of biters now.
hahaha anything related to G4 on digg automatically gets flamed. - dna42fan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0"Everything on G4 sucks except Call for Help."
"AOTS sucks"
come on, people. this isn't about whether you like AOTS or not. its about hacking into those damn frustrating CVS cameras. why can't you realize that? AOTS isn't TSS, but it wasn't meant to be. TSS became AOTS when g4 bought TechTv. They finally just changed the name. - Hazerduz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2AOTS sucks
- synack, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Don't forget X-Play! Mmm... Morgan Webb.
- _Caboose_, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0To everyone who's saying ***** about G4: grow the ***** up. TechTV is gone now, deal with it. I'm just as pissed as you guys are, but honestly, just shut the ***** up and get over it. If TechTV was the only place to get your tech fix, then I would understand. If Kevin and the guys were miserable & jobless, then I would understand. But everyone and everything's doing fine through the aftermath, so why aren't you? Go do what I do and watch Diggnation, TWiT, DigitalLifeTV & the others, and MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES.
