Hm, you could run into problems there. IR isn't IR all the time. The stuff that usual CCD cameras can see is AFAIK Near Infrared or NIR, which isn't the same as heat radiation that has a noticeably longer wavelength. However, I managed to illuminate a pitch-dark room using a old TV remote and have a look at the environment with my 20 Euro ultra-cheap CCD camera.. quite funny experience :-).
