DIY Night Vision Goggles

I am trying to make DIY Night Vision Goggles. I have the first part, infrared led into a lightbulb. I need to find a good infrared camera, two actually. The target price is $80 and under to make it about the same as this, but with two cameras.

. Most digital cameras are sensitive to IR, but the IR is blocked by a filter between the lens and the sensor. Replace the IR filter with a visible light filter and you have an IR camera.
. Search Ibles for "IR"
. Search Google for "IR camera +DIY"

. Should work with just about any digital camera. See TUA's link.
