How do you hack a camera?

Physically damaging the camera works, but can get you jail time. A better solution, if you have a nearby office window facing the cameras, is to use a near-infrared laser (<$100) and blind camera. A strong IR signal will easily overwhelm the AGC circuit and cause the camera to behave as if its pointed into the sun. All video cameras contain an IR block, but it generally isn't sharp enough to cut off an 850 nm diode laser. --Steve PGP mail preferred Fingerprint: FE 90 1A 95 9D EA 8D 61 81 2E CC A9 A4 4A FB A9 Key available on BAL server, http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Schear | tel: (702) 658-2654 CEO | fax: (702) 658-2673 First ECache Corporation | 7075 West Gowan Road | Suite 2148 | Las Vegas, NV 89129 | Internet: azur@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I know not what instruments others may use, but as for me, give me Ecache or give me debt."
