We can modify this camera to be UV+Visible+IR,  High-Red 665nm, IR-Only (715nm or 830nm option) or Visible High Resolution (HR).  An UV+Visible+IR camera will see UV,  Infrared and Visible light after modification.  An IR-Only camera will only see IR from 715nm through 1200nmm or 830nm through 1200nm depending on the glass installed inside the camera. A High-Red 665nm will pass some visible red into the red channel as well as infrared light.  The blue and green channels will only see infrared.

A Visible Hot-Rod camera will maximize the resolution and color depth of the camera at the expense of possible moire pattens.  Please see more about this conversion here.
