Is there an IF light on it that they can see? Why are they all attracted to it like that?

Edit: does the motion sensor give off light humans can't see, that might be it.

Yup, 'night vision' is just a bunch of infrared LEDs to light up the scene. Cameras (and cats) can see infrared much better than people can.

Curiously exploring the strange light source that's shown up in their familiar space.
