Hi assafM25,
can you give some more info?
What type of leds?
what filter for normal light do you use?
did you remove the ir-filter of the cam?

Hd5000 seems to work without any modification:

But you need at least a daylight filter.
(You remove the ir-filter from webcam to better capture the ir- light from your LEDs.
You add a daylight filter to block all visible light so that that the cam only capture the ir-light.)
It seems that the hd5000 had a very weak in-build ir-filter, so it's not necessary  to remove it.
As daylight filter you can use floppy disk (bad filter because it also blocks part of ir-light) or multiple layers of coloured plastic sheets or reel ir filter (expensiv).
Even this solution works:http://forum.free-track.net/index.php?showtopic=3372&message=17843



By the way: The Track-ir clip pro cost about 35$ even less than this one on ebay. ^^
