Hi all, I’m trying to figure out a good easy setup for a baby monitor, I’ve got a pi4, pi camera 2 noir, but it’s too dark to see anything by itself, and it feels like I’m leaving the plug & play zone where I could just google & program, and am entering the buy an LED and solder zone, which scares me. Any suggestions?

    Thanks! That helps a lot already!

    I’m playing around a bit, carefully stripped some old wires I had lying around from old lamp fittings and pinched those to a raspberry pi camera I bought earlier.

    Edit: it’s this one https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RPi_IR-CUT_Camera but I want to angle the LEDs somewhere else, I tried it quickly and with one LED pointed upwards it works well enough.
