Topic	Im creeped out by Ring cameras
adjl 09/02/23 1:00:56 PM #32:	captpackrat posted... If it has night vision with an infrared emitter, a retroreflective vest will dazzle the hell out of it. It won't do anything for daylight or passive IR. A laser pointer can also dazzle a camera. Since most cameras attempt to adjust for brightness, the super bright laser beam will cause the rest of the image to become extremely dark. When I worked for a company that made video surveillance equipment, I toyed with the idea of embedding IR LEDs into a hat. Most cameras detect IR the same as visible light, and if you can produce enough IR, it might mask your face. Nifty. I guess it does make sense that they can't be totally defeated by a shiny vest, since that'd make them pretty useless. Lasers dazzling them is expected, but not altogether practical unless I'm planning to attack a specific camera (which I'm not), but the IR LED idea is an interesting one. Any idea what that would do to collision detection features in cars? --- This is my signature.
