Surveillance Pinhole Cameras

Does anyone know if these tiny cameras have the capability to delopy IR or are they too small to install LED's inside them ?

Any advice would be appreciated.

i'd think you would need an external IR source. when you put a pinhole camera in, just the lens should be showing.

What Scott said. The light has to be on the outside of the pinhole. Having it inside, be like pointing your flash at the camera to take a picture.

most of these cameras have a IR cut filter.
you can remove the cut filter to capture the cut light wave lengths at the cost of some color imbalance and this would enable you to use low output IR LEDs like those found on IR remote controls.
