CCTV Busting Infra-Red Headset Makes You Invisible

A German art project could help the British avoid the oppressive proliferation of surveillance cameras in their country. The I-R.A.S.C is simple, consisting of a circle of infra-red LEDs mounted on a headband. The infra red is invisible to The Man, but will cause CCTV cameras to flare out over the face of the wearer, obscuring his identity and making this the digital equivalent of a hooded sweatshirt.

This is not a production unit, but given that you'd only need a hat, a battery and a few LEDs, you could easily knock one up in the garage.

In theory it would, if you surrounded your license plate with enough infrared LEDs.

can people monitoring the cameras see the giant light surrounding your head or license plate in real time? If so they would have an officer investigate the person or car wouldn't they?

Kind of like people who put charcoal tablets in their mouth if they're pulled over for a suspected dui. Wouldn't the officer ask "why are you sucking on those charcoal tablets? ".

most cameras are not watched in real time but just record to a hard drive. I'd guess maybe 10 percent of all cctv are monitored and most of them are prob in Vegas.
