I recently mounted an ultra camera on my shed about 30 feet from my house. Currently I only get motion alerts about 15 feet from my camera in the dark. Does anyone know if an infared illuminator near the house would allow for further motion detection? I know it would increase visibility but would it also increase the motion detection as well?

The motion sensors are PIR - which aren't the same part of the IR spectrum that NightVision uses. So I agree with @TomMac that it wouldn't help.
Note the cameras are most sensitive to motion across the field of view, and also they do a better job at the bottom of the field of view. Adjusting the camera position with that in mind can help.
