    A series of them along the top frame won’t look too bad. Or, depending on where/how the camera is, you might be able to add a ring of IR LEDs around it too.

    A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

      @KirAsh4

      this is the ir light.

      http://www.amazon.de/Infrarot-Leuchter-Board-Plate-Sicherheitskamera/dp/B0057DPXI4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

      First i placed the cam in the middle of it; the problem is, that the IR reflects @ the mirror, so the camera was blind.

      A wall of IR lights might be a way to do it

        Yeah, if that didn’t work around the camera, then you’ll need to add them to the frame (or in front of the mirror essentially.)

          Maybe something like this embedded in the frame?

            Saw this too :)

            I think i will create a new frame with a larger monitor and a real mirror glas anyway so i gonna try to get more IR-Light into this.

            The only doubt i got is the power consumption… Tons of IR-Lights = Tons of W/h :D

                  This might work though, if you’re using either an rPi camera, or something similar. If you’re going to put the camera in the frame, you’ll be drilling a hole. Why not two more for the IR lights as well. And at 3W each, that’s mighty bright. http://amzn.com/B00ZEFIU6C

                    hmmmm. thanks sounds like a plan.

                    I think i have to drill one larger hole, otherwise the photodiode cant see wether its dark or not hm?

                      A small hole next to the large one, enough for light to go through, should work. Usually it’s a tiny pinhole, but that’s also assuming the sensor is literally right up against the pinhole.
