Life hacker Mac Pierce created the ‘Camera-Shy Hoodie’, a wearable adversarial garment that uses high-power infrared LEDs to blind surveillance cameras. These lights are embedded in the hoodie itself and utilize the. same wavelength of infrared commonly used by security cameras in night vision mode.
By simply directing the LEDs back at the camera and activating the tuned strobe mode, the surveillance camera’s picture becomes overexposed, thus anonymizing the wearer. The LED strobe is tuned specifically to interfere with the auto-exposure on these cameras, resulting in a great loss of definition where the light is the strongest.

In this layout, where the LEDs are arrayed around the upper chest, shoulders, and upper back of the wearer, that head of the wearer is then significantly obfuscated. As the hoodie uses IR light, it’s effects are imperceptible by human eyes when activated, only effecting IR sensitive equipment,” said Mac Pierce.
