...that webcams can see the IR LED on remote controls light up. Try it yourself - here it shows a whitish-purple. I can even see the LED lighting up nearby objects. It's totally invisible to the naked eye.
So...if I had an IR flashlight, I'd be able to 'see' in the dark with a normal webcam? Surely not...
Yes, you can see in the dark.
I learned about 10 years ago that VHS (etc. etc.) camera's will do that, also.
Some CCD cameras come with a bunch of IR LED's attatched for night viewing.
