Advice before purchase!

[maksutover]

Hi everyone!

Ive searched on ebay a bit and found a philips SPC900NC along with an adaptor with IR filter. I just wanted to get advice from the wise pros here before going along with the purchase

adaptor at roughly $74 with IR Filter
Webcam at roughly $122

Does anyone know if i can purchase a compatible IR/UV filter separately??

Cheers

My advice would be to buy your adaptor and UV/IR filter separately.

You'll get better quality with something like a Baader UV/IR cut filter which screws into the front of your ToUcam adaptor.

That seems a fair price for the 900NC.

Shop around, though. You can pick up the Baader for cheaper than $110.

Be sure to buy an adaptor which has a thread to accept 1.25" filters
