   IR is not the same thing as night vision, unless you add an IR light source. Easy enough to do, inexpensive IR LED banks are available from retailers like B&H.

   Without IR and an IR light source, the camera itself is not a night vision device. You can buy image intensifier units (night vision scopes) that are made to attach to various still or video cameras. If you have a point and shoot, you can get fairly cheap hand held Generation 1 or 2 scopes that could be adapted to the camera. The quality of the image will be rather poor with these older units, but it is "doable".
