I want to do this ...but I want to choose a good camera...can you give me a specific model number or an exact feature that I can search for to ensure I get the right one?

You have to take out the infrared filter in the camera, which will make the camera useless for regular use

I don't think this works if you are using a LED flashlight. There are infrared LED flashlights that you can buy for pretty cheap and they show up quite well on modified cameras, or ones with night mode. Basically all that to say that I think this project is totally dependent on the light being really bright and coming from a light source that has all wavelengths of visible and invisible light. I suppose you could make something similar with a typical house light...might be interesting.

You can take your camera apart and remove the IR Filter from the lens assembly. Just like Pat (above) said you can also buy an IR Flashlight for relatively cheap, which will yield better results. You can do the same thing with a webcam by taking it apart and removing the IR Filter. Digital cameras use a photo sensor to "see", which is why they need an IR Filter. You can test your camera by pointing your TV Controller at it and press a button.
