Re:The FLIR One, a heat camera for the iPhone, is now available by CamperBob2 on Saturday August 23, 2014 @02:24PM (#8216496)
You can see some IR sources like remote-control IR LEDs with a conventional CCD camera, but you'd do it by removing its existing IR filter rather than adding one. The IR cameras being discussed here respond to much longer wavelengths, though, and yield completely different results. The black-body spectrum for thermal IR has far too little energy at the frequencies that traditional CCD cameras are sensitive to.
