It's confusingly presented in the video, but they already work in the near infrared, up to ~900nm. They're used with IR illuminators and lasers all the time.

There are tubes that work on a wider spectrum, like the Photonis 4G tubes from UV to IR 350-1100nm. But I found them dimmer than the L3Harris in the video.
