Nice! So, does this mean that an 'easy' way of defeating non-filtered cameras is to just have a few IR LEDs blasting out? I've no idea on costs or the optical physics here.


Yes: https://www.instructables.com/id/The-Invisible-Face-Mask-/

Many surveillance cameras use an IR cut-off filter for their "day" or color mode though, so this may not work then (or at least, not work as well, depending on the cut-off filter and LED wavelengths).


Well, heck, if that's not a product and market fit, I don't know what is?!
