Hi,
I can only second what damien already said. you have to use an infrared
light source. there are cheap infrared LED arrays that you can use. the
camera setting that reads only the infrared light is called nightshot
and you will get best results if you find a camera that has a switch
like that. then you will get a b/w image, and since the projector does
not cast infrared light, the projection image is invisible to the
nightshot camera.
