using a digital camera. *

You just point your remote control at the digital camera such as a
standard webcam or a standard cell phone camera and push the button.

at the image on my viewer screen, yet when I point the remote at my
eyeball, I see nothing.


Check out a stove burner it should show IR you cant see, some cameras
are more sensitive.
