It's a vibration sensor looks like:

Personally I'd just return it since it isn't going to help you with your project. Otherwise you're going to have to buy the IR detector over again.

I would look into using vibration/shock sensors. Thankfully a pack of 10 is pretty cheap and should be enough to cover each of your windows. You can also look into PIR sensors which use infrared light to detect proximity, but then you may have to deal with false positives since they can be inconsistent with different lighting.

For taking nightvision photos, you could use a regular USB webcam and remove the IR filter. You may also need to use infrared LEDs to get a bright enough image.

For powering the whole thing, I wouldn't hook it up to your car's battery since you could wake up with a dead battery in the morning. I would just use a usb battery pack.

Here are some specs: https://www.amazon.com/Pieces-SW-520D-Vibration-Sensor-Shaking/dp/B00J80IZOQ Contact Rating:12V •Contact Resistance: <10 ohm •InsulationResistance:>10M ohm •Capacitance:5PF •Max voltage: 20V •Max Current: 30mA
The capacitor with the long end (plus) is connected to + (between the switches), minus side is after the ball switches. A new battery works the same way, so I guess its full.
