Kako blokirati ali zaslepiti varnostne kamere

Ali vaš sosed usmerja svoje varnostne kamere CCTV na dvorišču ali hiši? Kako lahko blokirate ali zaslepite varnostne kamere, da ne bi videle vaše nepremičnine? Katere so najučinkovitejše metode za motenje varnostnih kamer?

V tem članku bomo našteli in razložili nekaj praktičnih metod o tem, kako zaslepiti ali blokirati varnostne kamere. Zaslepitev povzroči nepravilno delovanje kamer in sploh ne bodo mogle snemati ali pa bo kakovost slike neuporabna.

Kako blokirati varnostne kamere

Preden začnete, vedite eno pomembno stvar:varnostna kamera ni tista, ki vas gleda ali nadzira. To so samo stroji brez možganov. Lastnik kamere je tisti, ki vohuni za vami in vašo lastnino.

Razumite razliko, ne poskušate zaslepiti ali blokirati varnostne kamere, zaslepili boste lastnika tega varnostnega sistema. Tukaj bomo pokazali, kako to storite in seveda na povsem zakonit način.

V svojo lastnino/hišo namestite varnostne kamere

Ni boljšega načina, da blokirate sosedove (vohunske) varnostne kamere, kot če jim postrežete z istim zdravilom – varnostne kamere postavite tudi na svoje posestvo. Če imate sistem varnostnih kamer, boste lahko spremljali vse, kar se dogaja na vaši posesti, in hkrati držali soseda pod nadzorom.

Obstaja veliko vrst kamer, ki jih lahko namestite, kot so kamere visoke ločljivosti s fiksno lečo, varifokalne kamere z možnostjo povečave ali pa lahko celo namestite močno varnostno kamero PTZ .

Kamero PTZ lahko postavite dovolj visoko in uporabite njene zmogljivosti premikanja/nagibanja/pomanjšave, da imate soseda pod nadzorom. Lep del kamer PTZ je, da ljudje ne morejo povedati, kam so kamere usmerjene ali kako daleč lahko vidite (obstajajo kamere, ki lahko povečajo 40-krat!).

Če se odločite za sistem varnostnih kamer CCTV, se prepričajte, da ste kupili sistem, ki je zanesljiv in zagotavlja sprejemljivo kakovost slike. Vedno izberite kamere visoke ločljivosti z možnostjo videnja ponoči (vgrajene IR LED). Raziščite trg in kupujte karkoli, da zagotovite pravo opremo za svojo nepremičnino.

Ta protiukrep se je izkazal za izjemno učinkovitega pri motenju sosedovega sistema varnostnih kamer. Mnogi ljudje, ki preizkusijo to metodo, poročajo, da bodo sosedje, ki posegajo v zasebnost, ko bodo kamere vklopljene, naredili varnostno kopijo in se ukvarjali s svojimi stvarmi. Ali pa vsaj dvakrat premislite.

Ugotovite, ali so varnostne kamere lažne

Kaj pa, če varnostne kamere, ki jih je namestil sosed, dejansko niso prave?! Mnogi ljudje kot odvračilno taktiko namestijo lažne kamere, ki ne delujejo ali ne snemajo.

Torej, preden se lotite težav, da bi oslepili ali motili sosedove varnostne kamere, se prepričajte, da so res prave. Dandanes nakup lažnih kamer na Amazonu ne stane preveč.
Na več načinov lahko ugotovite, ali je varnostna kamera lažna. Na primer, večina kamer je nočnih, tako da bi morali, ko je temno, videti IR LED lučke okoli očesa kamere (videti so rdeče). Če svetlobe ni, so kamere najverjetneje lažne ali ponoči ne delujejo.

Preverite tudi ožičenje, večina ponarejenih kamer nima kablov. Drug preprost način je, da posnamete fotografijo fotoaparata, pojdite na google in poiščite ponarejene fotoaparate, morda boste na spletu našli isti model fotoaparata, ki se prodaja kot ponarejen fotoaparat.

Ask your neighbor to re-position the security cameras

The most effective method to blind your neighbor’s security camera system is by talking to him. Many people are not even aware that their cameras are aiming at your windows or your property or may even think that you don’t mind.

Simply approach your neighbor and let him know about your concerns, that you think some of his security cameras are invading your primary, or that your family doesn’t feel comfortable.

Ask them politely and respectfully and most of the time people cooperate. Let him reposition the security cameras in a way that doesn’t point at your house. So, before going into blinding and jamming of security cameras, have an open conversation with your neighbor.

Plant trees or tall shrubs to block off the security cameras

You can plant a group of shrubs or tall trees to disrupt the view where the security cameras are pointed at. This is a great technique to blind the cameras and the neighbor can’t do anything about it.
Also, you can install high privacy fences around the perimeter of your property and no security camera can spy on you. Or install thick curtains on your windows.

Basically, you can use anything that will create a physical barrier and disable the security system of your neighbor. There’s no way for him to complain since you do whatever you want on your property.

Use LED lights

This strategy will only work if you are precise and quick. You need powerful lights to do it successfully. Also, this trick only works in enclosed spaces or at night. You need to know the exact location of the security camera.

Then you need to point the LED lights to the camera’s lens. If you are successful in doing this technique, no one watching the video clip will recognize you. However, that person will know that someone is out there blinding the surveillance camera.

You must be able to hold the light steady because if the light beams drop from the lens, anyone watching the video will recognize you because your face will be visible. You can also put infrared LEDs on your clothing, hat, or headband. Another strategy is to wear an IR LED mask.

However, ensure that the lights are bright enough to cover your face without blinding you. Note:we don’t recommend this method, it’s illegal you may get involved in much more trouble.

Use an infrared laser pointer

Aside from LED lights, you can also use an infrared laser that points to the security camera lens directly. This strategy is less harsh than the first technique.

However, it requires more precision than the previous approach because the security cameras will capture the face of the laser pointer strays away from it even for a moment.

Unlike the first strategy, using the infrared laser works nighttime or daytime. Also, this approach only works if there is only one security camera (if more than one camera, you’ll be caught by the rest of them). Same as before, we don’t recommend this method, you may get in legal trouble (and possibly damage/destroy the camera altogether).

Cover the camera lens (such as spraying it)

Smear jelly onto the lens. Rub Vaseline, petroleum jelly, or another viscous substance onto the lens of the camera to make the picture come out blurry.

In a pinch, try using sticky-but-spreadable foodstuffs like butter, jam, and peanut butter. Be careful to coat the entire surface of the lens. Make sure that you aren’t caught on camera as you approach the recording device.

This approach is the least practical because the motion detection neighbor security cameras will capture your image sensor even before you can cover its lens. We don’t recommend this method, you may be involved in any illegal activity.

Cut the wires

This method works if the neighbor is using a wired security system. You can cut the cables going to the camera (either the power cable or the data cable) and disable the camera.

Moreover, it’s gonna be very costly to replace a broken wire. However, be careful because this method is illegal and you may get into trouble.

Use a security camera jammer

A camera jammer has various sizes. But, if you are wondering how it looks, it is like a TV remote control. A discrete and handy device can disrupt signals and security camera recordings. Some models have GPS tracking and cell phone call blocker.
You can bring it wherever you go because you can put it in your bag or pocket. The camera jammer will disrupt signals, and you can go on with your activities in full privacy.

However, you must first determine the broadcast frequency of the surveillance cameras so you can purchase the right equipment to disrupt it. Not recommended, you’re basically inviting legal trouble in.

Check with a lawyer or the police

If for some reason the neighbor doesn’t want to cooperate or doesn’t agree to change the position of the security cameras, then it’s better to ask advice from a lawyer or even the police.

Especially if the neighbor is being extremely inappropriate such as engaging in voyeurism. If the security camera of your neighbor is able to see inside your home and the footage is used as harassment or coercion, you have the basis to sue for invasion of privacy.

Another suggestion is to ask for help from mediators, such as leaders in the local community. They can reach out to the unreasonable neighbor and try to talk sense into him. It may work, especially if you live in a small community.

FAQs about blinding or jamming security cameras

Is it legal for your neighbor to point security cameras at your house?

The legality of your neighbor’s security camera depends on the specific local law and whether the cameras are pointing at an area where privacy is expected.

If the security cameras of your neighbor capture only a part of the house, or the cameras are not purposely aiming at your windows or house, then it’s very difficult to file a complaint against your neighbor.

However, if the security camera aims at spots where you can expect privacy, places such as your bedrooms or bathrooms, then you have ground against your neighbor. Consult with a lawyer if you have a case.

Can a laser pointer damage a security camera?

It is possible but most standard laser pointers won’t have sufficient power to damage the sensor of a security camera; and while a more powerful pointer is more likely to be able to cause sensor damage, it has to be aimed extremely accurately and steadily, during which time the person so pointing is captured by the camera.

Moreover, there is no way for the person pointing the laser to tell whether or not damage has occurred and the reflection of the camera can damage the eyes.

High-level lasers not accessible to the average person, such as those used in medical equipment or for laser light shows, are able to affect a camera sensor with greater ease.
