Well a few things happened.

#1 - I lost the color capabilities. Which really is fine since they never really worked in the first place. This is because the colors were no longer balanced and the IR/UV actually caused the color balance to no longer be valid.

#2 - The brightness and contrast even in normal mode dramatically increased. The picture quality got much much better and the camera is actually usable again.

#3 - Finally and best its now a highly sensitive IR camera. I used my TV remote control as a IR "Lamp" and was able to see myself in total darkness. As a matter of fact the TV remote has such a bright IR source that I could see a good portion of the room. I can only image what a real IR source with 15-20 LED's would do. AMAZING!

So this little webcam can now easily be used for night time ghost monitoring.
