If it does have an IR filter, the front camera's filter is definitely not as good as the rear camera's.
When I power the IR LED normally (or even use a remote control), it's not visible at all through the rear camera but plenty visible through the front.
As I mentioned, I tried switching R1 out with a 220 ohm with no improvement.
6V power supply is just a 1000mA DC wall wart. I've tested that by powering other things off of it and it's working fine.
It's a switchable supply, I just chose 6V because it made the most sense with the kind of current I was trying to push and the resistors I had on hand.
