Would one of you happen to have a part number for a power supply that will work with this camera?
Also, has anyone used any of these cameras with the IR filter? They are a few dollars more but have night vision.

Most, if not all, of these cam's in a small metal enclosure have night vision as most come with an IR lens (a lens with no built in IR filter) and there's no space in such a small enclosure to include a switchable IR cut filter. For clarification, an IR filter filters out, or removes,
IR light to keep the IR present in sunlight from affecting outdoor image colors during the daytime.
This and other such cameras in a small metal enclosure are best used indoors (as there usually isn't much IR in indoor lighting) and outdoors at night with an IR light source. The only difference between the camera you mentioned and other TOP cameras without IR LED's, is that this one includes an IR light source (not an IR filter as you wrote). Personally, I would get one like what's shown on page 1 of this thread and use a separate IR light source if one is needed as I doubt the LED's on this camera will provide enough IR unless you only want to see things fairly close by. Also because outdoors, spiders are attracted to IR and you'll quickly end up with spider webs in front of the lens which you'll likely have to constantly clear and a seperate IR light source mounted nearby will solve that problem.
As for a power supply, any of the 12V 1A wall wort type units like many cameras and many other devices come with these days and sold for $2-3 just about everywhere will work. Just search for "12v 1a power supply" on ebay and take your pick.
