Some people suggested before to use a C mount IR filter.

Yes, you can swap sensors, I thought the sensor hardware identifies 
itself, so the mainboard knows what to do by default. But with all 
electronics be careful with dust/static elecricity.

Probably nothing 'special' except that everything fits. If you want to 
record 'IR' the IR cut option is obviously what you want. (So the camera 
doesn't contain that component.)
