How to Fool IR Security Cameras 

If you're worried that somebody will use this against you, putting an IR filter over your camera will prevent this issue.

IR cameras hate him. Become invisible with this one weird trick!

If you want to go ultimate incognito, just don't go outside.

This would be a really good countermeasure if you have a neighbor who has cameras trained on your house 24/7. In fact, I think an IR floodlight would work great. It would obscure everything behind it.

And for those who don't know, the little bulb on the end of your TV remote, and many other remotes like it, is IR 😉

He disappeared like the R's in his sentences

This method will work well for a vehicle number plate :)

Very impressed , I am going to try this. Also , with a bit of thought and for someone who knows electronics , LEDs , etc it would be fairly straightforward to make some kind of hat or even a simple head-band carrying several infra red LEDs like this with all the wiring done properly and neatly , and powered by a battery pack. I am all for anything like this that beats all the big-brother cameras that are watching us everywhere and invading our privacy and I am not alone in this .

This does not make you invisible to IR cameras, in fact, it makes you the most noticeable thing on the screen. What it Does do however, is anonymize you, and that's what's important.

I stopped watching because I'm a criminal and he told me to get out.

This was in my recommendations, idk why, but small channels before they go commercial have great stuff. This is one those channels.

I love how this screams "the late 90s" but was uploaded in 2018 and the presentation is just the best thing on the planet. Great video, brother, youve done a fantastic thing. Thank you.

Criminals, get out! Intellectuals only! Hahahahaha

.

Some companies make hat's and jackets made entirely of 3M reflective material . to security cameras that have built-in LED's they reflect back the IR and blind the camera . if someone is ussing a camera with a flash it reflects back their flash and blinds the camera .

Avoid my apartment cameras. They said they installed them for our safety but they use them to track our activities. Such as who we visit and to find "lease violations" I'm tired if them being in my business.

If I were invisible I wouldn't need to behave differently because no one knows I exist anyway.

Mount them on your license plates and inside your car facing outwards. Traffic cameras are no longer a worry.

First video I've seen on this channel, and I love it already. And that pumping background music really gets me going!

I purchased 5 infrared floodlights to obscure my neighbours cameras that were recording on my property. 2 benefit s. My cameras now not only have built in IR but with floodlights its like daytime 24/7. The neighbours cameras are rendered useless at night. Winner

"Walking Lens Glare" I aspire to be an eye sore.

Should be re-titled how to rip your neighbors off at night

Great idea. I think I'd like to try it using IR rope lights, and embed them along the seam of the brim. That way even your hat would be less noticeable (no big IR LED up top), and the rope lights would wrap around perhaps better obscuring your face from all angles. You seem to have all the tools necessary to check, so perhaps order some IR rope lights, and give them a whirl? Thanks for a great video. :)

Good video. I can finally stop smearing myself with mud when I go out.

This could have saved me multiple years of my life!

The inverse is also true. You can use night vision functioning cameras to find night vision security cameras, or at least find IR emitters that signal the presence of them.

That's a cool effect, but keep in mind that In certain situations where the LED is obscured by an object, (e.g. a street sign), if there's a moderately reflective object nearby, like a wall or even another person, the LED might illuminate your face and make you MORE visible to IR cameras.

This is very cool! I never would have guessed something like this was even possible. Your awesome! Very well put together and easy to follow along with. Thank you sir 🤗❤️

No one will ever notice someone walking around with such an unbelievably inconspicuous apparatus hot glued onto their hat.

I bet a strand of 3w it LED's like a necklace, and a few on a hat. Would completely blind the camera

There is a film now called Dazzler I think it created a reflective flare which looked just like the LED flare. The film can be applied to glasses frames, license plate frame too though I think it is illegal to do so.

That was very informative , and I am interested in trying this at home with my camera system . I would love to see a jacket with multiple lites on it !! Just to see how much of a glare effect you can cause and maybe pants to , and walk around a major city at nite and or movie theater or indoor area . And see how many alien 👽 sightings you get . It’s just a thought. Thanks again!

Thanks! I just robbed a CVS pharmacy without being detected

Honestly that's a pretty good idea for someone evading night security cameras. And obviously one could inbed the LEDs and power supply in the hat so it's not like your test concept. Cool video. Thanks for your time and effort making it.

you can use them for motion tracking, as active markers or to light up passive markers

Suspicious. I subscribed to your channel the other day, and i just had to subscribe again!! I hope youtube isnt messing anything up.

Pretty smart and you don't take yourself soo seriously. You are very enjoyable to watch. Subscribed👍

Don't worry about the haters. 15 years from now they will wish to have your life.

How do I become invisible? Blueprint: make yourself so bright that no one will see you.

Fly a drone up to the camera with a spray paint can and servo activated nozel. This is how I defeat them. Works like a charm !

Strangely enough, Amazons ir led chips sales sky rocketed in Compton

So that's how they make para-normal videos as in ghosts! Flying saucers in the night.?

Love your channel, you should experiment with different colors and wavelengths of lasers ir, red, green, blue etc with how the work at blinding security cameras

Since privacy seems to be something you can't afford nowadays this seems to be a great idea

I think it would be fun to walk around with these on, just to see if any reaction is registered - to make people wonder...

Attaching to your drones flying around that would scream invasion!

Question: I have security cameras properly aimed at my own yard. My nimrod neighbor across the street has a covert camera in his front window (I can see the green light) aimed at my yard. Can I make a device like the one yuo made but instead place it inside a cardboard tube aimed at his window and interfere with his camera? Or will it only be a pin point ight at a distance? thanks

The banner about the criminals was silly. We know you did it for them ,I mean us and you too. Thanks a lot . You are a good man.

You can use that while you're hunting that waskerly wabbit

Rigged this on my license plate and it worked awesome years ago

Purchased the 10watt chip and a led constant driver it was recommended these items are purchased together. Having trouble getting the light to come on. Do I have to solder ??

Omg!! Thank you sooo much! I could tell my neighbors were messing with my security camera I just couldn't pin point what exactly they were doing to mess with it, I had an idea it had to be an IR light or something to that effect before I watched this video now I have proof

I think, to make this a bit better, scuff up the IR diode, or attach some sort of diffuser to widen the effect and minimise the effects of head turning. Worth a try..

You videos are great!! Keep up the good work!!

I love it !!! So hypothetically speaking of course!!!. How would I go about putting one of these outside my back door so when my hypothetical neighbour with his hypothetical camera can't watch us at night??

Hello, would the red light on my headlamp have a similar effect if I don’t care about the light being invisible? Can Thank you so much for your video. I really enjoyed it.

That is the same protection the T90 uses against IR guided missiles. Good video.

I’m thinking if the lights are embedded in a shirt collar or an emblem up in the breast area these could be concealed.

Some IR light bands can be seen on a cell phone camera like the IRLED on a remote control for a TV, etc. I just used this technique to repair the buttons on a remote control that weren't working properly. They actually show up on the cell phone camera so I could determine whether or not I fixed the problem buttons.

I saw on Burn Notice you could take a laser pointer and blind a camera if you shined it into the lense. Always wondered if that was true.

Brought to you by: TORO. when you need to get past your neighbors cameras at night.

...aaaand que the hot glue gun! Awesome! I love this guy.

People who express their free speech on RU-vid; demonetized, limited, blocked and even terminated. A video about how to bypass night vision security cameras; recommended!

Thanks for the guide! Gonna do some "science project" tonight, right after if finish with my "home work" folder.

It would draw attention to you from CCTV operator and police stop could follow to check it out.

That’s one intellectual-looking glue gun you have, there! 😄😄

Great video brother, can you make a video on how to distort or cancel or unable to hear conversion on a dash camera? I work for a company and they installed a camera and they claim they don't listen to your conversion but they actually do, so who can I mute my voice?

13 years ago i thought of a anti-paparazzi defense rather than your none suggested direction but it was still fun to watch

You forgot to talk about Range and angle of attack, multi camera angles and the simple fact that you just ID,ed yourself as a person of interest.

If you can find older tv remotes, the Ir leds are big enough that you can solder-wick them off and just stick a bulb in the bill of your hard and use a cr2030 to run it, I'm not sure how long the battery life would be but it should last a while and be easier to hide in the hat. Nice video. Subbed

Can you connect 2 of these onto one Chanzon LED driver...Once connected do they stay connected or only when you want to shield yourself.

I have always added an inch wedge of plastic or wood behing the top of my lic plate . It tilts the plate down , bouncing the radar signal down, instead of back to the device. Does NOT "deface" or obstruct the plate!

How to make yourself look obviously suspicious by putting a super visible beacon on your head :)

I'll remember your tutorial if my cloaking device ever fails me. 😉

Would this work for cameras that switch between IR and regular? Or perhaps this is too low of a wattage to trigger a camera to daylight mode?

You are the only person that has made a good video about this. I subbed.

The hat worked ok, but I would advise putting multiple lights (including on the sides, as when you turn, your face becomes more visible) and making them far more subtle, although I get your model was only as a proof of concept. Though all in all, I think I will continue just carrying a balaclava in winter and a bandana/hat/sunglasses combo in warmer weather in case I need to suddenly conceal my identity, as ultimately this is too much to carry unless you knew you were going to use it, and only good at creating glare for a camera while appearing to others as if you were not trying to hide your identity (assuming the lights were hidden enough, otherwise they would mark you as odd and be MORE likely to remember you), if its dark enough for security cams to not be visible that means you would need light yourself probably, and if anyone spots you, you are screwed anyway, so like I said facemask is still the better route, but no hate or anything, still very interesting video, and I never really thought of this concept, though I should have.

Intellectuals only. A true intellectual would understand it’s a trait criminals often share, it’s not a defining absolute.

So what was your power source, when the cap was lit up? Had you charged it with that machine? I'd like to see something more concealed, some kind of design that hid it entirely. Personally, I don't think I would do anything different, but being able to hide might be important in the future. Have you seen the movie 'Tribulation'?

How well does this trick work with driver facing cameras? Lytx makes driver facing cameras and I'm looking for a solution to totally blind them and prevent them from recording my face. thanks.

Thanks for the tips, i will be using this for my next heist...😁😂😂🤣

Just caused my home security system to switch out of night mode, which then captured my face. Cool concept for other things though 😉

Interesting. Could filters be applied to the digital image to recover it? And, what about during the day. Do security cameras use IR light in daylight hours and would the same method work?

Actually be at peace for once in your life knowing your not being recorded and shared with mass surveilance

A reflector will achieve the same results with no need for a power source.

4.8k burglars liked this!

would a diffusing lens or scattering make it more effective? use lower power and lower profile led? How much battery and how long a run time can you get?

Cops are currently searching for angels who keep robbing banks.

I see the algorithms have brought us together again...again

If I was invisible I would disconnect folks IR LEDs

THIS IS THE JONTENT WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR

How do I run these devices off of a 5 v usb port? I hooked one directly to a USB cable and plugged it into my power port in my truck and it got incredibly hot and eventually started shutting down the leds until they were allowed to cool off. do I need to lower the power or add some kind of cooling hardware to pull the heat away from it?

Just makes you more stand out to security, if you are seen on cameras they will get someone on the ground to pay attention to you

If you use true infrared filters or IR light as we did in the military, then you can’t even see a faint red light. Back in the day when modern night vision wasn’t the norm, we often used a handheld pistol grip light, with a Infrared filter from a M113 armed personnel carrier, mounted with tape in front of the handheld light, and it worked very well, when sneaking up on enemy positions 😈 I should add, that the night vision goggles we used at that time, was only working with Infrared light, and it was intended for use by the Driver at night, in primarily armoured vehicles like Tanks and armoured Personnel carriers…

Walmart cameras have facial recognition and sell the Feds the footage via streaming it right to them. I learned about this hat trick years ago as part of learning that Walmart has that capability. Tilting your head sideways past a certain degree of pitch can mess with facial recognition software as well. You'll look funny, but apparently it works.

now that i'm invisible i think i just might have to disable all security cameras except i don't know how so you gotta make a video on that also

Take it a step further. Put IR LED's in the shirt collar for 360 protection. Then make clothing with Faraday Cages embedded in it to protect you from the massive RF pollution we get bombarded with everyday and also embed fractal antennas in the clothing that can be turned on to charge all your devices by pulling electricity from the atmosphere. The meshed metals in the clothing will also make it Tazer Proof as well. Also, dont forget to use Bullet Proof Material. If you make this and market it - you will be a Billionair in 2-3 years.

I see you and Toro attach parts the same way. Glue it and screw it. Lol. Good vids .

Cool vid, I find it funny that you bought the "security camera" line the surveillance camera salesmen use.

I don’t believe this will stop motion detection or motion alerts. So, while this might create a smoke screen of sorts with IR bleed. A simple high power led head lamp will overwhelm some cameras or turn it into daylight or color view. You could also have neighbors cameras, pointing IR at your cameras..
