Further to that, it works nicely with my Canon G5 with a minimum of

No need to even use a filter; just stick the camera on auto mode and the
IR led on a remote control is easily visible on the camera's LCD. So,
basically, just go try it...
I did find a site that mentions using a bit of offcut from a
conventional camera negative as a useful filter to pass IR and cut
everything else. I've got a suitable bit, so I might give that a try
just for the sake of seeing what IR shots I can get...

I know CCD
based video cameras can see infra-red......
Hmm, you got me curious there... had a poke around via google; some
digital cameras seem perfectly capable of it, but you need an IR filter
over the lens (presumably you need this for a camcorder too)
