Ever thought of making one of those night vision cameras yourself?

Nope, I wouldn't know where to start...

Digital camera / camcorder. Pry off the IR blocking filter, get an IR filter
for a big torch like a clulite, and bingo, you've got a nightvision camera
setup. Could be done with a very cheap camera and a car headlamp running a
100W bulb from a car battery for naff all. IR filters are about 20 from
Anchor Supplies...

The Aldi device wasn't IR night vision, it was an image intensifier I
think. A wholly different type and no IR light that can be detected.

No, I didn't buy one either.
