Periscope or Pyrimad Extender. Or nearly any video sender.. Or fibre optic blutackd to IR sensor..

Or 2 core sheilded cable and remove the 3 pin IR sensor. Siganl, ground and usually +5V. I've run an IR sensor over 30m of CAT5. Power and GND on one pair and Signal and Ground on a 2nd Pair. Some assembly / experience of soldering required!

Remote Extenders shouldn't be too hard to get. They're made by a variety of companies, though I tend to like Powermid or Televés. I found cheaper stuff like SLx less reliable.
