Infrared Camera Blocking License Plate Frame - Tutorial - How To 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣

Not if you fit the description 😭

It’s the license plate frame , listen to the video and you won’t have to look so .......

Officer looking at video: I can't read the number, but it's a Prius that looks like R2D2, shouldn't be too hard to find....

lmao

John Wick is in hiding, oh this is what he's does.

💪🏽💪🏽🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Make It Hackin Using a copper and steel wire right?

😂

I think it’s done that way so you can control it

@@logancaudill2457 why would you want to controll it

just take your front plates off

@@logancaudill2457 it would turn on with the headlights

@@logancaudill2457 yeah but the license plates lights also turn on when you turn on your head lights so you can control it like that too

Trust me, there are some real idiots out there, that if not given the full instruction, would fail.

@@PavementPilot Only too well. I'm one of them! 😉

Where can I get them?

licenseplates themselves are retroflective, so it would be pointless

Just add a backup camera and say they are illumination for the camera.

Or just say nothing. You're not obligated to answer any questions. Am i being detained? No. See ya

@@respond_code3 just because you choose to not answer questions doesn’t mean you can’t get a ticket for vehicle safety issues or traffic infractions.

@@JamesThompson-xl4yu can’t have white light facing the rear of a vehicle except in reverse. The exception being license plate lights which are only supposed to illuminate the plate and not project light rearward. As for adding super bright red lights facing the rear, that’s a ticket too for improper lighting if they deem it a safety hazard.

@@FFred-us9tw That literally has nothing to do with his comment. Infrared is not visible to the human eye, therefore it is not white light, therefore it doesn't matter when the infrared LEDs are on. Just stfu

Many States don't allow anything covering the plates.

Can you recommend any specifically? Like pretend we know nothing about this, steps to do it your way? Yours sounds way better

what would that do? very curious

word salad

@@homerogonzalez2909 Ensure that the camera can't auto adjust to be able to read the plate anyway.

Police can see a clear cover and will pull you over. Infrared ligts work perfectly.. You dont have to worry driving down the street with a police officer behind you.. but you would be worried if he sees te clear cover.. I had a plain clear cover, that got pullrd over I was pulled over, given a warnig and it had to be removed n 24hrs as if they spotted me with it still on... they would arrest me.

The speed cameras also use a high power flash that would likely render this hack useless.

Unless things have changed recently, the cameras flash is set for the ambient light at that particular time of day or night and does not expect a plate to be lite up many times brighter than what it was designed for which causes the image to be overexposed.

@@mmace3 They can't and don't. Variations of this hack are extremely popular because they work. There are much simpler versions -same idea. Cameras can not photograph light or mirrors. True now and has always been true.

​@@mmace3 the readers in the cops car don't use a light. Yes they finally put the tag reader in The car they can get all your information just by pulling in behind you now

Why not leave them on always? only L.E.D.S's?

Offense? I thought red light cameras (actually the tickets that they generate) were deemed unconstitutional by way of the lack of due process - you are not afforded your day in court or that there is only a picture of the act without contravening circumstances. I’ve gotten red light camera tickets and I’ve never paid them. I wrote to the company (yeah, a company, not a municipality) saying that if this charge appears on my credit report, I will sue them. Nothing yet...it’s been a couple years.

@@marlow769 Man sometimes I wish Australia could be like USA in circumstances like that. Here those stupid things are everywhere, in cars, vans bumpers, behind bushes anywhere they can hide em. We have new ones that target phone use as well and its only a matter of time until they target things like eating or changing the station on the radio as they are adding new offences soon. A passenger can't even use a phone if its deemed by them to be LIKELY to cause distraction. I believe our cameras are operated by a bank and no surprises they are making a killing. They do hold up in court. Also if you raise concerns about privacy and such, you'll get a "if you're not speeding then you have nothing to worry about" from the authorities and annoyingly from the boothlicking public despite the average speeding offence being about 6mph or less over. Also we have some pretty low speed limits as is.

@@marlow769 These cameras are for collecting toll, not so much red light cameras.

@@sanches2 that is scary man. At this rate bring on autonomous cars.

@@avi8r944 i design computers for autonomous cars for living and other electronics in cars. But having been in a situation where i fell asleep behind the wheel i can say that DMS is and will be saving lives

I appreciate your comment. Thank you!

fuck tolls. the road was probs built with public money. ive also paid my usage fees ( rego, taxes, ect) to use the damn roads. im not gunna pay a toll to some jack ass to use a road ive already paid for in some way, shape or form

And ever time you fill your gas tanks your paying road tax to repair and maintain the bridge and roads. Why should you have to pay more to use a bridge.

Don't go to work then

@@draconightwalker4964 they are separate political districts. You aren't in your city anymore when you enter one.

a) I don't give a damn about the costs of living in the North East b) if the costs are too much, then move c) if the answer to "b" is "b-but I make lots of money here cuz de pay is higher" then realize we definitely don't give a damn because you should be able to afford it

OMG, great idea!

:) thank you!

For 5 volt DC and a good bit of current, across a 5-6+ meter long skinny cable? I don't think so. Probably not even 4 volts coming out at the sign, certainly not under load. Actual ethernet signals are barely a few millivolts. To enable a little bit of power to run across cat5/6, like PoE, you have to boost the voltage up into the low 50s. Otherwise the relatively high current for the skinny long wire causes far too much of a voltage drop across the cable.

@@pr0xZen i mainly meant as convenience but yea probably not a good idea to run a lot of current on it but i woudl imagine for leds it will work just fine

not planning on selling them

Lmao i need 10 for 5 cars

you're watching "before they were stars" lol

I was wondering the same thing

License plate covers are illegal in California and many other states.

Where does the tape go?

@@alcopower5710 On the letters/digits of your license plate. So they look dark to the eye, but reflect to a camera.

@@alcopower5710 around the license plate frame

Sweeeet!

@@gasgiant7122 3M™ SCOTCHLITE 580 SERIES - REFLECTIVE VINYL TAPE

Don't waste your money my friend. One thing nobody is telling you is this will only washout video on a "NIGHT" or low light camera. This will NOT work when the sun is up. So unless your speeding at night not really going to help.

@@skruffy7847 even in this example at 4:57 you can see slight shading from the letters in the center of the plate. Around here, pics not able to be automatically read with OCR goes to a human. Load the pic into a program and play with gamma/saturation etc. and I'd bet you could read the full plate at 4:57 - award will be another ticket in addition to speeding...

@@michaeltempsch5282 Your are right. Video or photo program would most likely reveal everything the police would need to know. Then whatever charges authorities want to pile on. There used to be a video going around where a guy put IR LEDs on the bill of his baseball cap that would "white out" his face on security cameras. The only catch was it had to be a day/night camera or B&W camera at night time for it to work.

@illuminOz Far from it. Lol just older and less in a hurry. Back in highschool it was Friday night street racing for me an my buddies and running from the cops when they showed up. I just dislike seeing people "play" I'm smarter than you, and put up BS videos claiming perfection when there are so many flaws to the claim. Looking out for the less informed.

AAAA SOOO WHAT !

And?

I think, this is the best solution and less visible to cops

License plate covers are illegal in almost all states.

haha.. thanks!

Yeah sure you do

Where you buy it?

Good call. A photo sensor to detect the camera flash would make it opaque for 1 or 2 seconds to make sure you get past multiple cameras. You would need the sensor to differentiate between the white camera flash and the strobe flash from emergency vehicles… having a cop pull you over will 100% see your plate go black and stay that way.

It's difficult to postfx for whites, and those cameras are already set for pretty high contrast being IR. If it somehow darkened it, then yes.

They have to prove you were driving. A lot take photos of the driver.

again, short of liquor store holdups, what is the freaking point? gonna impress some girls with your bail receipts?

@@jbodden6977 red light/speed cameras and tolls.

@@thej3799 It is illegal in Il for a camera to photo the driver.

904nm won't do anything, not against camera flashes, and not against LIDAR. LIDAR laser power is about 30 Watts (for about 10ns). The LIDAR sensor easily discriminates it's own (partial) 30W (retro) pulse reflection, from ambient IR light (of which there is plenty - sunlight); hence wildly divergent, comparatively weak LED light wont do anything. "strobe at a high PRF rate that is somewhat random, they will prevent or delay police LIDAR from locking on" While it is possible to confound a LIDAR gun, the device will inform the operator if a laser defeating device is used (various error messages: E01/2/3/7) . The penalty for being caught trying to defeat any speed camera is much worse than that from speeding, and users of these can be caught even if not speeding. The processing ability needed to confound a speed gun without inducing any error message is well, well beyond what a Pi can do, and the knowledge to do this is well, well beyond what any amateur engineer will understand. Source: I personally own 2 different LTI2020 LIDAR guns and borrowed others. I know exactly how they work from my own probing, tear-downs and experiments (and yes, I have experimented with external 905nm lasers). Also, I kick ass at electronics. Gasto type cameras already cater for it's own super-bright flash from retro-reflective plates, so some divergent, weak LEDs won't make much difference. IR ANPR sensors also typically use their own active bright IR illumination; furthermore, such a defeating device won't anything against the accompanying overview cameras (not IR sensitive).

@@smeggyhead1 and if pulsing things is all you need to do, an Rpi is way overkill. I'd go arduino if it's a quick hack, but you could go even simpler, NE555 anyone? :-)

@@plonkster You could use a simple timer as a pulse source, but as I said, the designers of these speed guns are wise to it. Trying to defeat an LTI2020 in such a manner either won't so anything (the speed will be measured as normal), or it will display E07 and squeal like pigs on a honeymoon. I've done this test.

@@smeggyhead1 what can you use “educational purposes” for overhead toll cameras?

​@@smeggyhead1 Do you know of any discreet but effective way to stop toll-road cameras from reading your plates?

Get computer security screen, align so it can't be seen in up / down mode, on youtoob

not sure

Possibly a polarized film over the license plate. The camera lens has one as well, and they would counteract each other

reflective spray, you can find it online and it actually works. I live in a county where they are pretty much banning modified cars so i’m doing this infrared led trick and the spray to mask both

paparazzi?

And do what exactly? Put a picture of your face on wanted posters? Or maybe look for your mass produced Honda Civic

@@williamreyes5159 theyd already have your plates unless the infrared lights are on all the time. And theyd have to match your position relative to surrounding cars and timeframe. Theres tons of street cams, not just red light running cams. Im just describing the bigger situation to anyone who is really considering doing this.

@@digimon916 We don't have those types of cameras in the States. Plus, they'd have to spend too much man power for this, and it isn't a big crime.

if in infrared mode, basically the same, if not, then you don't see it

Its completely invisibles for cereals yo

@@SKYNET9er - if by completely you meant still partially readable

flat top should work too

@@MakeItHackin I only asked cause flat tops would be easier to make it blend in design wise but I wonder if the light displacement would be the same

Some flat tops disperse a little better. Not sure about infrared tho.

It might not blind the camera as well since flat tops usually have a wider viewing angle and therefore appear less bright.

thank you! I'm making a similar video in a few days for sunglasses with the same components. i will post links on that one

my favorite is a rear window message, safe to pass me now...

i'm just that kind of driver...

They have those.

if in infrared mode

;)

@@MakeItHackin ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Hopefully !

Running red lights is murder in the first degree. Jail time. Big time

It's IR which you can't see with the naked eye lol it's just that cameras can see it hence why you can see it on the video

Infrared is not visible to the human eye.

This is just like a volcano science experiment. Technically you are working with acids and bases but it's only vinegar and baking soda. This is quite the same thing, while this works in theory, 99% of police/parking cameras will have IR filters meaning this will not "blind" them, it will look just like the camera on the "day mode". I'm not sure what can this help with, except maybe, with some kind of night roberry or parking fraud and protecting against CCTVs. But trying to trick lidar/radar cams that do speeding tickets is pretty much impossible.

@@lazar2175Blinding a radar “cam” is essentially jamming. Jamming isn’t just a state crime but comes with bonus federal crimes.

@@xofcenter5576 the only laws i can find in any regard so far are summed up thusly; your license plate must be visible to an officer at a reasonable distance (think driving behind you trying to see what your plate says), and some states specifically ban tinted or 'trick' plate covers along the lines of plastic types. the feds ban RF jammers, which is the whole cam speed sensor part of the equation, but i see nothing that would cover IR (for those few places such would even work, as most will, as mentioned, have filters due to sunlight exposure and various other factors). so unless its very poorly worded, i can't locate anything that IR LEDs would fall under, and almost no jurisdictions currently have laser jammer laws on the books, since that's what's in them. an array of IR LEDs. and while i'm sure this will change eventually, its currently almost entirely a non-entity in the legal sphere (again, so far as i can find). tldr; block/jam RF = bad mojo. block/jam non-visible light = not seemingly currently covered by law.

@@kenabi depends on the State. I used to live in Cali not that long ago. They explicitly make all colors, visible and non-visible, except the approved reds, illegal in the state of CA on any public road.

@@xofcenter5576 cali vehicle code (div 12, chapter 2) disagrees. everything pertains to visible light that could potentially be applicable. the whole summary is basically; no red lights in front, no white lights in back except the backup lights, no flashing lights except turn signals/hazards unless its the usual flavor of top mounted lights on tow trucks, security, etc.and the usual emergency lights provisions that say only they can have flashing red and blue, etc so as to prevent anyone from equipping lights to make their cars resemble cops/ambulances/etc and possibly impersonate first responders. i can find nothing in the 2021 version of cali's vehicle code that would ban IR leds from being mounted to a license plate frame, and all relevant mentions directly reference visible light, and only visible light. the single thing i could actually not only allows it, but specifically protects it; codes.findlaw.com/ca/vehicle-code/veh-sect-24255.html (non .gov link since i just wanted the relevant section) note that while it says the device is to supplement visibility of roads during darkness, it doesn't limit operation to times of darkness by code... it literally allows the use of IR emitting lights so long as there's no visible glare, it doesn't prevent drivers from being able to see properly, and its linked to the headlight switch full on position. this system is to be tied to a monitor that displays the IR on a screen that doesn't block the drivers view. soooo.. just means you run with your headlights on during the day. and that isn't illegal (yet) in cali, by cali vehicle code, the only timeframes codified in law are 'darkness' and 'inclement weather', or both. so unless you can find me something that contradicts that.. yeahh.. cali's good to go with the right setups.

just make a system that physically flips out a fake number plate lmao

@@dhavalvyadav or pull a cable to pull the plate down. That's what I did. Only for the novelty though, I'm not a criminal, and my vehicle is kind of obvious.

@@KC9UDX Yep

Why.... LMAO?????

I would dress it all into the recess of the frame and pot it with black urethane windshield adhesive.

Interested 4 speeding lol

It would not do anything useful during the day. The only reason it works is that at night the cameras use an infrared flash(or constant beam) to illuminate the plates.

if they are in infrared mode. could happen during the daytime
