CCTV Busting Infra-Red Headset Makes You Invisible By Charlie Sorrel EmailFebruary 21, 2008 | 8:10:31 AMCategories: Hacks, Hacks, Security, Security iredeye.jpg 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.

Big brother isn't going to like that.
This is a good thing.
Yeah, it's sort of a polite way of giving the camera (and big brother) the finger.
One idea I had was covering an escape route from the house with strategically place IR illuminaters so to wash out any possible night scope view. Naturally, the effectiveness has to be tested with a good night scope. The idea would be leave them turned off until needed. However, test them often.
