My kiln is painted with it, 70 bucks a pint (ripoff price probably). People use it to try and protect their bricks and liners. Alumina has limits you can surpass with it.
I've heard lots of inmates talk about this. That's why when I changed my security system, I went with standard hardwired high definition cameras. If some fool tried this or a WiFi jammer, he'll probably think he's safe. Also, the tactical use of motion detectors. I don't have them hook to lights, they are hooked to an alert. Over the years, I've managed to stay ahead of the dirtbags. With Covid people started wearing masks, but I'm working on a counter for that. We had problems with people wearing hats, but that's easy. Small camera mounted low, pointing up. If anyone has any suggestions on the masks, let me know.
you can get those clip on units to clip to the peak of a cap, with IR lights on them, for this reason, im not sure how far an HDR camera would go towards filtering out a weak IR source though, I doubt any HDR camera would filter the amount of light shown in this video. Personally, I think a medical face mask and a cap are good for this use, and not going to get you in trouble with the police for having them on
I remember some younger guy assembled an IR baseball cap that you could wear around town and the security cameras couldn't see your face. He did a video on UA-cam about it. Hasn't been seen since... At least not by me that is.
A car tore through my neighborhood a few weeks ago and it had lights on every single side, not just IR but visible lights, it was like a damn star, couldn't make out hardly anything, not even the color with my own eyes. No idea what they were up to but I suspect nothing good. Security cam picked up the glow like a sunrise from 200 feet down the road.
Baby Driver glasses. FYI I use multiple cameras at different locations and angles on all sides of the house. You'd need 3 IR lights aiming at 3 cameras at the same time. Possible, but not probable.
Are you familiar with rolling shutter? Flash the light at a high enough speed and most modern cameras will see stripes, while the human eye sees constant lighting.
I've seen another project where somebody did this with a baseball hat and they just have the IR LEDs around the crown of the hat so I covered their head in all directions on camera
an IR detector directly connected to an alarm without a delay. Anyone carrying or wearing a strong IR source at night in my garden interfering with my cameras but triggering a much easier setup of a simpe IR detectors is a clear indication of criminal intent. I don't need the camera image at all to wake up and immediately deal with the threat in person, even better if no image was recorded.
cool i just found a bunch of 3w 940nm ir leds i orderd prob in the lockdown times when i had lots of time to think out and start all kinds of crazy projects, i was an am now inspierd by ur video to make the ir emitting licenceplate holder triggered by 905nm Silicon Avalanche Photodiode to blind police laser, iirc 940nm was the closest i found in this power range, got 20 of the 3w smd type, and the whole car coverd in matt black foil i bought it new so the foil was VAT free as the car vat is 25% here in Norway
Absorb the laser. Cannon ball run cars in America a sometimes painted a brown/green. You should look into those cars. They also fill the bumpers with radar parking sensors (not jammers, sensors).
@@napalmholocaust9093 the whole car is coverd in ir absorbing mattblack foil. what would all the radar parking sensors do? and think most parking sensors are ultrasonic
I think "delete" is a bit much, it's more "make yourself a massive target of suspicion"! Also requires you know the cam is there. As others have suggested, a ring of IR LEDs on a headband seems a better option. Or just a normal head torch, if you are in the dark. That looks like a Blink camera -- mine have a 'click' at night which I assume is an IR cut filter being retracted. Does your IR jammer also work in daylight, or is the IR filter good enough to protect the camera?
Any cheap camera can donate an ir filter to mitigate this. They all have them unless they are special and movable for ir film, like a kodak medalist 2. Might just need multiple cameras covering different fractions of the spectrum... like a nasa space probe.
Be careful about possible image processing that could reduce the effectiveness. Like if it is a color camera and the IR is recorded on the red channel, it might be possible to still see your face on the blue and green channels.
There's a video out there where a guy strapped an IR light to his head. That worked to blind the IR camera from seeing his face and head but could still see his body.
...And then a bright light came toward me, shining bright like diamond. It felt like I was burning from the inside out, when that alien had carnal knowledge. Left flabbergasted. But I got it all on camera!
One major flaw with this concept is that you first must know the locations of any and all IR cameras in a given area. While you may be blinding one of them, any others that may be installed in that area could possibly still see you clearly enough for you to be identified, especially if you have not identified any others that may exist beforehand. Darkness works in the favor of security cameras, while it does nothing to help the Mark I eyeball.
Our close protection operatives have similar infrared elements emitting in a spectrum invisible to the human eye in order to make photographs, surveillance, and whatnot impossible. But we are using it since 2014...
I can't tell you my former employer. But, We used something really similar decades ago. Something called a fillabuster to break and damage cameras. You're be basically using the same equipment. Because of it, We were always told to have the batteries removed whenever we carried one. Kinda surprised you haven't solved the infraflash of light on your device. On the fillabuster it was detected on the video feed.
@danm4320 reflection is easily handled with polarized lenses. An active light source is not filtered out and just washes the shot. If the receiver is set up to work with IR, and they all are, then IR has to have a means of getting to the receiver, and it has to adjust to ambient light as well as it's own light source. It ends up being like a guy shining a flashlight I'm your eyes and asking you to read something just behind it
@@michaelcarniel9086 well, kinda, and the answer lies in how complex the camera is. A powerful high security government standard camera has ways of reducing this through multi spectrum and very low exposure cameras with powerful emitters. A homemade array of IR emitters would look like faint stars in the image.
No. The radars used are actual low-powered radars. They send out an extremely high frequency radio signal, much higher than visible light, that reflects off a moving object. They use the Doppler principle to the calculate speed of that object. Infrared is at the lower end of the spectrum, just below visible light. All you're going to do with IR LEDs on the ends of your vehicle is make your car even more visible to IR cameras. You might be able to obscure your license plate (s), but it will do nothing toward making you invisible to radars.
one day in the future people will look back on our current age when it was first discovered that ANYONE could have THEIR OWN channel and these future viewers will LAUGH and shake their head everytime they see "videos" that were posted on channels that regularly switch away from "the content" to show the FACE of the "star" of the presentation who is simply stroking their own little EGOS while mugging and pretending to be an actor- these laughs will never get old!
It will work using a normal flashlight. During daylight or at night. I suggested a hat with several headlamps attached. Just some LED's on a hat makes you invisible to any camera
are you not lighting yourself up perfectly (with all that reflected IR light) for any cameras that are pointing at you from the other direction(s)? I know i have much more than just one camera or a single angle of the same area... worth testing that out too. :)
Let me be the 1st to congratulate you on Educating the Criminals who may likely follow this up as a new method of CIRCUMVENTING any Security they face! Well done on wrecking like so many others, the very things that are supposed to Protect them, 😉😖
Abba honestly, you wouldn’t even need one as big as that one you got from Amazon. If all you want to do is disrupt the camera from seeing your face, just get a small handheld one and tape it to the brim of your hat.
Now can you try something for me. Try getting in a vehicle with a dashcam ( dual camera forward backwards) with the NV and see if the NV is visible with the floodlight or can something smaller be used
1:13 Don’t know who was driving the truck that recorded this crash, but you seem to suggest it was yourself. Anyway, great footage of someone not paying attention to the vehicles in front, swerving at the last possible second and causing those behind them to slam into the stopped cars they couldn’t see because the truck in front was obscuring them until it was too late.
Too complex. Just take ir-capable corner reflector (used in gate beams and similar devices) and camera LEDs make everything for you automatically. You can take several of them and make something like crown on head, or stich them to hat. Result is guaranteed.
I love the thought process behind this, but how would you handle cameras from multiple angles? Please don't take this as me being an smart ass, I do security and this intriguing.

Ive heard that using reflective "safety" matirial does the same thing. The ir gets reflected back and makes you glow and the camera gets blown out.
Be careful about possible image processing that could reduce the effectiveness. Like if it is a color camera and the IR is recorded on the red channel, it might be possible to still see your face on the blue and green channels.
Interesting to see that 🤔
In the bank robbery scene in the movie baby driver, the robbers were wearing some kind of IR light eye wear aswell

I remember some years ago an umbrella with IR lights created for this, and even a cap.
hikvision tier IP cams can overcome this easily. the feature is called automatic backlight compensation or something similar.

You can just wear a reflective rain suit and do it passively.

you know the clip-on lights for your ball cap,change those out with ir, runs on 9v.

I run my cameras full time in colour with led sensor white lights. IR beam wont affect it.
Indoor motion cameras.... Grab very large piece of cardboard (fridge size-ish ) and walk slowly & motion cam won't see you.
Why would any rational and honest person want to do that?
Lol, if you tried that where I work you would wind up looking like swiss cheese. They won't ask questions, they just neutralize the threat.
A simple Laser-pointer does the same thing, for cheaper, and is easier to conceal; and will run you less than $50.
