They really aren't. Those flames are made of reflective plastic printed on the shoe, that's why in the hallway camera - which uses IR to highlight dark areas - reflects off of the piece, but the body cam, which does not use IR, makes it more clear because of lack of reflection.
Pardon my ignorance, but isn't IR used only in low light conditions, not during daylight/lights-on conditions? I have super-cheap cameras that you can hear them click when they switch to IR mode when the sun has set.
Suckafree answered pretty well, but I'll touch on yours which click on, like baby cams. They aim to preserve power and usage life by reducing the time it is on until it is needed. Almost all security cameras broadcast the IR 24/7 to highlight dark areas and features of the individuals, but it also creates glare and reflection. A lot of savvy criminals will wear strips of reflective tape or something like that to blind the camera.
