You don't necessarily need a new camera. You can accomplish it by "lighting" using IR. Here's an excerpt from Digital Video Hacks:
"...The other trick is to add more light. While this might seem illogical, there are types of light that your camcorder can see but that you (or your subjects) can't. Specifically, your camcorder can see infrared (IR) light, which is invisible to the human eye... To see what I mean, try this: take a remote control, point the end of the remote toward your eye, and press a button. You won't see anything, because your eyes can't see the IR light emitted by the remote. Now try the same thing, but pointing the end of the remote at your camcorder lens. On your camcorder screen, you'll see a brief flash of light from the end of the remote, because the camcorder can see the IR light. And this is what you can use to capture video in situations where there isn't enough light to record normal video: by using IR light, you can illuminate the subject without annoying or distracting it."
