Infared Ob's monitoring camera

This is probably a trial and error type question.....so I'm hoping to learn from someone else's trails to not make my own errors!

I want to remotely monitor the obs (telescope/mount) using a camera so I can watch what's going on when slewing, etc.

I have a ASI 1600 which has a spectrum response in the red range out past 800nm I believe......infrared spectrum starts at 750nm apparently.

My question is this - if I use a camera with night vision (infrared) am I going to be picking up the light signal from the infrared LED's on the imaging cam?

If so it kinda blows my dark site benefits hey!

What are other people using as a camera to monitor their ob activities?
