Sony's old handycams used to have "super night shot" which allows you to flip off the IR filter and shoot at 0LUX and has a small illuminator. The model I have will even allow you to take photos, video albeit a low resolution, but hey it works! When I finally got my hands on one of these to try, this system works. It just needs a larger illuminator. So thats what I will build.
