> Poorly, the camera was not engineered to operate in this bandwidth

At least for cheap sensors in phones and security cameras that engineering consists of installing an IR filter. They pick it up just fine but we often don't want them to.

Keep in mind that sensors are inherently monochrome. They use multiple input pixels per output pixel with various filters in order to determine information about color.
