An infrared remote control module (10) includes an infrared detecting module (11) configured for receiving optical signals and converting the optical signals into digital signals, a signal processing module (12) communicating with the infrared detecting module; and a controlling feedback module (13) communicating with the signal processing module. The infrared detecting module includes a lens barrel (110), an infrared band-pass filter (112) arranged in the lens barrel, a lens assembly (113) arranged in the lens barrel, an image pickup module (114) arranged in the lens barrel, and a collimator device (116) selectably moveable into or out from the lens barrel. By being moveable in such a fashion, the collimator device is configured for selectively collimating the optical signals, and, thus, the remote control module can be used for shooting or motion-based actions.
