Using IR, UV, IR/UV and many other combinations of filters for investigations.

I own the online paranormal equipment store Paranormal Investigations Equipment, but I am also an investigator. I have done daytime investigations as well as night time investigations. Using camera filters not only let you have multiple cameras (IR, Full Spectrum, UV etc...) but also lets you change on the fly or set up different cameras on location with different light spectrums.

I have several different filters, and not only can you use them as one, but you can also combine them (as they screw together) for even more light spectrum filtration. During day time investigations with the ambient light being super bright and illuminating everything they work extremely well.

I"m not saying everyone should drop there modded cams and go 100% filters, but I am saying if your new to paranormal investigations, filters are a less expensive way to go other than buying all those different cams.

Do People Do Research Before Purchasing Paranormal Investigation Equipment?

I can't speak for everyone, but it seems that there are people out there doing paranormal investigations that buy equipment just because it was seen on tv, the newest thing out or its something they think may help them on investigations. There are a lot of companies out there that mis-advertise things, say its one thing when just doing some research will show that it's clearly not, re-brand an item and sell it for more because its "for paranormal investigating" oh and by the way, its illegal to re-brand something that's already re-branded or slap the word ghost in front of it and claim its for paranormal investigating.

Yes I own an online paranormal equipment company, but I am not writing this so people will buy from me and not the other guys. I am writing this as a paranormal investigator myself and am tired of seeing people get ripped off. To many paranormal equipment companies are using the tv ghost hunting shows to sell there items. It doesn't matter if there's a better item, or less expensive item just like it out there, if the "pro ghost hunters on tv" use it, it must be good, or if the word ghost is put in front of the item, hell it must be something special and will attract spirits, lol.

99% of paranormal investigators don't charge to investigate a home, piece of property or building, so why wouldn't they do a little research on the equipment they are interested in and not just buy something caused they saw it on tv or there is the word ghost in front of the name?

I don't know maybe its just me, but before spending $100's of my hard earned money, I want to do as much research on the equipment I'm looking into. And actually purchase something that will be useful.  I understand that we know nothing about the paranormal and yes it may be a tool made for something besides paranormal investigating that catches the best evidence yet. All I'm saying is, just know a little about what your purchasing first, I mean you wouldn't purchase a tv without doing some research on brands, different things it can do or accessories, all I'm saying is treat your paranormal equipment purchase the same way.

IR-UV Filter, allows Full Spectrum cameras to be used as regular cameras as well.

IR/UV  Filter (hot mirror)

 It blocks out both the higher frequency ultraviolet rays and lower frequency infrared light rays. This is important to digital photographers as the CCD and CMOS sensors found in our cameras are extremely susceptible to catching UV and IR rays just outside the visible spectrum that have a very negative impact on image quality.

The filter offers even greater versatility than is already found in a combination UV-IR filter due to its front and rear threads. They permit stackable standard-size filters to be attached, giving you even more filter effect options, while also accommodating a standard lens cap as well.

Another benefit to using the UV-IR filter is that it can also reduce the effects of atmospheric haze to a greater degree than would be found with a standard UV filter. This means that sharper images with more depth and finer, richer color gradations are possible when utilizing the filter’s effects in your photography. This combination filter is a convenient option for those who seek a clearer and sharper image when captured outdoors, while getting the benefits of two filters in one.
