I didn't respond  because someone else already mentioned using a Pi Zero with 
the NOIR camera.

Search Thingiverse for "Pi zero camera" for case designs.

I use this illuminator with it:

Bob made one of these with a Pi Zero the other day. It works REALLY well.

When I see him next, I’ll remind him of this thread.

Most visible spectrum cameras actually have a IR filter over the lens 
inside- you can make a cheap IR camera
by removing that if I remember right. It's a purpleish film over the lens 
between it and the sensor chip.

Heres a good place to start:

Hey guys,

Any recommendations for IR web cameras or "IP cameras" (i.e.
self-contained cameras running their own cut-down linux)?

I want to put this out covering my back courtyard, to check on feral
cat activity.


Raspberry Pi + NOIR camera.  There are several howtos for this, ranging
from birdhouse- to backyard- cameras.
