What do you do when being spyed on by thermal imaging

[terrorist_2080]

What do you do when someone is spying on you with thermal imaging? How do you counter that?

[crazy white guy]

light a road flare and set it down near you. Set up a IR light in a way that it with flash (strobe works best or how police cruisers have it)

both of these will work. but flares burn out and a high power IR light would need to be tied into a household electrical system or have a fat battery.

theres also IR lasers that will burnout the camera they are using, but that would be noticeable to the operator.

How do you use that IR laser against the camera?

[crazy white guy]

shine it in the lens

it burns out the Card that 'sees' the IR light
just like if you shine a high powered laser into a normal digital camera it would burn out the CCD sensor or whatever its called.

what do you do if the DEA is spying on you using thermal imaging for growing marijuana and you don't know when or where they are using it?

[crazy white guy]

You put more layers in between your lights and the walls. Or just install a fat air conditioner.

Glass.
Glass has natural properties that make it colder than the air on both sides of it. therefore, it will not conduct heat very well and doesnot show up on themal inaging devices. and is cheaper than A/C. there is a little more to it than this, but ive covered the basics

I dont know if it actual works, but you could reduce your body temp by getting in a freezeing could bath, therefor your core tempreture would drop making your body turn blue on the camera blending into the enviroment (Making you invisable prehaps)

If you reduce your core temperature by more than 5 degrees you'll suffer brain death. Maybe I shouldn't have told you so you would actually attempt this and end up in hospital with hypothermia.

Didn't Mythbusters do a segment on that? They overcame a household alarm with a large pane of glass. Here it is.

Thermal sensors can't be defeated: busted. You can defeat a thermal motion alarm with
... cooling yourself with a fire extinguisher: busted
... wearing a neoprene suit: busted
... covering your body in mud: busted
... increasing the temperature of the room: busted
... a pane of glass: confirmed

[General Grim]

So I guess the blue square seemingly walking across the camera to a field of plants will not be noticed?

Conclusion to thread: Given the situation it's impossible to do without tampering with the camera.

Im glad someone else on here watches mythbusters. Alot of questions can be answered by that show.

a) Lead lined roof?

b) Cool the house with AC and there wont be any hot spots

Read the book on 1,000 secrets the military doesn't want you to know. Thermal is stopped by rain and fog. Anything which alters the temperature or air density between you and the camera. Suggestion, get some sweats plave them in a beer cooler full of ice water. Set up space blankets at key points to block out/reflect the IR and thermal imaging (especially since this reflect your body heat back at you).

Given a cold heavy rain, dawn the cold sweats and make a run for it. The rain and space blankets will limit the thermal/IR stuff. Otherwise all you can do is stop what your doing and lay low where your at.

I'd go with a hell of a lot of insulation in the roof. Maybe move into a basement room.

well, you could put mylar (the shiny stuff looks like tinfoil, but its plastic, easy way to get this is in the big first aid kits, they are the thermal blankets) i have seen that used to successfully shield you from ir cameras, how this would work in your house? perhaps put it on your roof?

also if your getting traked through the woods with IR, hide under a big spruce tree, that one i know for a fact works (done it)
