Hey,
Not really sure if this is the right place or not for this post, but seeing as though the people who drive vectra's seem technically minded ;) i thought i'd post this question here. Does anybody know if any of the states speed cameras have Infra Red (IR) filters ?
The reason I ask this is that my brother and I were using some IR LED's the other day and noticed that the digital camera's can see the light from them quite easily, whilst the human eye cannot detect it, thus if they were say in a position on your car that you didn't want a camera to be able to see, you could effectively blind them , without anyone else even knowing you've done anything.
I looked it up a little and saw that they work on digital CCTV cameras aswell, as it completely blurred a persons face. an interesting thing for an electronics hobbiest.
