IRCUT FILTER
-
I bought this:

I ordered it with an IR cut filter.
It has an infrared LED, so I'd like to remove the IR cut filter. Is it okay if I remove it myself?Is the square glass plate in the center of the lens the IRCUT filter?

Yes the square glass piece is the IR cut filter. It should be glued to the lens assembly in the for corners of the square. You could remove it yourself, at your own risk. Please see a similar discussion and results in the following thread : https://forum.modalai.com/topic/4826/msu-m0149-1-ir-filter (this that case, the lens is slightly different and it was much more difficult to remove the IR filter). In your case, the filter may pop out without breaking, but it is likely to break. You may want to put some tape on the filter before removing it, which would help avoid having loose pieces of glass.
