Neither (though processing is required). Digital sensors are very sensitive to infrared light, but in "normal" pictures it affects colors too much, so manufacturers have put filters in front of the sensor to block infrared light from reaching it. So you have 2 options:

- Modify your camera so that the filter is removed and replaced with a IR-only filter (which is what I have - though my allows some visible spectrum light in so I can get the colors in post processing). Downside is that this is tricky/expensive, but on the plus side you get normal exposure times.

- Attaching an IR only filter to the lens of an unmodified camera. The advantage is that this is easier and generally much, much cheaper. Disadvantage is that you will need much longer exposures to compensate for the IR blocking filter inside the camera.

Any camera can be modified to do the first option. To do the second option, certain cameras have weaker filters than others.
Here's a good list with model comparisons
