Using a IR Emitter with a camera

[acedog]

I have a old IR emitter, axis t90a20IR-led 120-180, what I am wondering is if there is a way to use my moto g5 plus to see in the dark. I tried it in pitch black but it only resulted in being able to see in a 3ft radius in front of the emitter.
I tried looking for an app but I could not find any that were real.
Additionally is there a way to use a Raspberry Pi 2 to build something that would dork with this?

Most cameras have a filter that blocks IR. That is why your phone doesn't work very well. You could probably get an IR sensitive camera that would work with a PI.
