A camera mirror system for a vehicle includes a camera having a field of view. The camera has a lens that is configured to focus light on an image capture unit and a filter switch that are each arranged in an optical path provided between the lens and the image capture unit. The filter switch has an infrared (IR) filter that is movable into and out of the optical path in response to a IR filter command A display is in communication with the camera and is configured to display the field of view. An IR light-emitting diode (LED) is configured to illuminate the field of view in response to an IR LED command. A controller is in communication with the image capture unit, the filter switch and the IR LED. The controller is configured to provide the IR filter command and the IR LED command in response to a limited-use night vision condition based upon a factor other than an amount of atmospheric light.
