Not all phone cameras pick up the infrared. and not all spy cameras can see in the dark. So while doing this as a preventative measure is good, please don't let it lull you into a false sense of security.

Most phone cameras have IR filters, indeed!

Almost no front-cams have IR filters, though. So if anyone reading this tries this, use your self-facing camera.
