For those who like to check their plants CONSTANTLY. here is a little guide to make a night vision camera from an ordinary web cam. Basically there is a little infrared filter on most cams. and it just needs to be removed.

Works for mobile phones as well.

1 thing though, Infra red doesn't mean it can see in the dark. Unless there happens to be a source of infra red in your tent I don't thinnk it'll work.

Infra red is a light.. wont the plant pick up the light that is invisible to the human eye and get confused? llol
