Kako blokirati ili zaslijepiti sigurnosne kamere

Je li vaš susjed uperio svoje CCTV sigurnosne kamere u svom dvorištu ili kući? Kako možete blokirati ili zaslijepiti sigurnosne kamere da ne vide vašu imovinu? Koje su najučinkovitije metode za ometanje sigurnosnih kamera?

U ovom ćemo članku navesti i objasniti nekoliko praktičnih metoda o tome kako zaslijepiti ili zaglaviti sigurnosne kamere. Zasljepljivanje uzrokuje neispravnost kamera i one uopće neće moći snimati ili će kvaliteta slike biti neupotrebljiva.

Kako blokirati sigurnosne kamere

Prije nego što počnete, znajte jednu važnu stvar:nije sigurnosna kamera ta koja vas promatra ili prati. To su samo strojevi bez mozga. Vlasnik kamere je taj koji špijunira vas i vašu imovinu.

Shvatite razliku, ne pokušavate zaslijepiti ili ometati sigurnosnu kameru, zaslijepit ćete vlasnika tog sigurnosnog sustava. Ovdje ćemo pokazati kako to učiniti i, naravno, na potpuno legalan način.

Instalirajte sigurnosne kamere u svoj posjed/kuću

Nema boljeg načina da blokirate susjedove (špijunske) sigurnosne kamere nego da im poslužite isti lijek – postavite sigurnosne kamere i na svoje imanje. Posjedovanje sustava sigurnosnih kamera omogućit će vam praćenje svega što se događa na vašem imanju i istovremeno držati susjeda pod kontrolom.

Postoje mnoge vrste kamera koje možete instalirati, kao što su kamere visoke razlučivosti s fiksnim objektivom, varifokalne kamere s mogućnostima zumiranja ili čak možete montirati jaku PTZ sigurnosnu kameru .

Možete postaviti PTZ kameru dovoljno visoko i koristiti njezine mogućnosti pomicanja/naginjanja/zumiranja kako biste držali svog susjeda pod kontrolom. Lijep dio PTZ kamera je taj što ljudi ne mogu reći kamo su kamere usmjerene ili koliko daleko možete vidjeti (postoje kamere koje mogu zumirati 40 puta!).

Ako se odlučite za sustav CCTV sigurnosnih kamera, pobrinite se da kupite sustav koji je pouzdan i pruža prihvatljivu kvalitetu slike. Uvijek birajte kamere visoke rezolucije s mogućnošću gledanja noću (ugrađene IR LED diode). Istražite tržište kupujući bilo što kako biste bili sigurni da ćete dobiti pravu opremu za svoju nekretninu.

Ova se protumjera pokazala izuzetno učinkovitom u ometanju sustava sigurnosnih kamera vašeg susjeda. Mnogi ljudi koji isprobaju ovu metodu kažu da će se susjedi koji narušavaju privatnost, nakon što se pokreću kamere, povući i gledati svoja posla. Ili barem dvaput razmislite.

Otkrijte jesu li sigurnosne kamere lažne

Što ako sigurnosne kamere koje je postavio vaš susjed zapravo nisu prave?! Mnogi ljudi postavljaju lažne kamere koje ne rade ili ne snimaju kao taktiku odvraćanja.

Dakle, prije nego što se potrudite zaslijepiti ili ometati susjedove sigurnosne kamere, provjerite jesu li one doista prave. Danas kupnja lažnih kamera na Amazonu ne košta previše.
Postoji mnogo načina na koje možete znati je li sigurnosna kamera lažna. Na primjer, većina kamera ima noćni vid, tako da kada je mrak trebali biste moći vidjeti IR LED svjetla oko oka kamere (izgledaju crveno). Ako nema svjetla, najvjerojatnije su kamere lažne ili ne rade noću.

Također, provjerite ožičenje, većina lažnih kamera nema kabele. Another easy way is to take a picture of the camera, go to google and search for fake cameras, maybe you can find the same camera model online being sold as a fake camera.

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.
