Infrared mode

Infrared mode (nightvision) is used by the camera medium, camera gimbal, camera stabilized, and night vision binoculars. It is useful for seeing in dim light.
== Effect ==
Infrared mode significantly increases the brightness of the image, adds a grain effect, makes the image grayscale (black and white), and somewhat reduces the field of view to a circle around the center of the image.
Contrary to what the name would suggest, infrared mode is not thermal infrared, and cannot see things merely because they are hot (such as engines, people, and weapon barrels). It still requires illumination, just much less than regular vision.
== Lights ==
Regular lights, searchlights, and spotlights all have a toggleable parameter to set them to infrared mode. In this mode, their light will be invisible to the naked eye, yet still retain their usual visibility for nightvision binoculars and cameras in infrared mode.
Note that RGB lights and indicator lights do not have an infrared parameter.
== Strobes ==
Infrared strobe lights can be worn to allow infrared cameras to spot someone while regular vision would not.
== Lasers ==
Laser distance sensors and the camera stabilized both produce lasers, and both have a toggleable parameter to make their lasers use infrared mode. As with lights, regular lasers are visible both to the naked eye and to infrared cameras, yet infrared lasers are only visible to infrared cameras.
== Flares ==
Flare launchers can deploy flares that produce infrared light. Note that these flares still produce a significant amount of visible light, though perhaps only 1/4 that of regular flares. These flares can actually produce enough light to be blinding to infrared cameras, though if fired high in the air can serve as a good source of illumination for nighttime search and rescue operations.
