It may sound silly, but have you considered making a hole in the cabinet...? Need not be an ugly hole - you can get plastic which is jet black in appearance but completely transparent to IR, and maybe you could incorporate a black 'decorative feature' in the door... |
I've thought of the low-tech solution but the cabinet wasn't exactly cheap and so this would only be a last resort.
Re Red-Eye - this may be a possibility. I'm looking into it.
Thanks for the suggestions.
