If its for tracking applications, any of the video tracking  
installations that I have been involved in have used Black&White  
security cameras with a visible light filter.  Those cameras are  
analog and about 150-300€.  Then you need to get a analog capture card  
though.  That could be a Canopus or anything that provides low noise  
and high framerate.
