    He breaks the law if he sees the inside of your apartment.
    If I do not want to get along, call the district office and after the problem

    The best "blinder" for cameras are curtains or blinds on the window.
    Maybe you live badly with your neighbor and want to get back.
    After all, what difference does it make if a neighbor is looking out a window or looking through a pair of binoculars?
    The legal problem is not that the camera "sees", perhaps worse than the naked eye, but whether the image is being captured and how long the recordings are kept.
    What can they be used for.
    If someone breaks into you through the window, you may ask your neighbor for a monitoring record one day.

    If your neighbor has purchased a camera with the ability to define privacy zones, ask him to turn on such a zone on your window.

    Question to the author of the topic - how far is the camera from the window?

    Gentlemen, excluding the legal / shutter aspect - the image generated by the camera provides the owner of the camera with material, in my opinion, only illustrative from the yard.
    How much space in the frame can the window take up? If the cameras are monitored by half of the yard - probably not too much. On the other hand - if the maximum focal length is set (to be as close to the "four circles" as possible) - the window may not even be in the field of view.
    The psychological aspect and the magic of American cinema works ...

    And one more thing - it seems to be the most important in the whole topic. Spelling. Is no one offended by a bull in the subject, which is additionally thoughtlessly duplicated ...?

    The rules for installing video monitoring stipulate that the privacy of other citizens must not be violated - if you do not want to voluntarily apply it, the legal route remains - from the district district upwards.
    Another thing is that the dedicated privacy zones (with the device owned by the voyeur) can be changed ...
    Deliberately dazzling the camera can also be a good idea (if the car is stolen from him), but a few ired leds should do the trick - when he stops seeing, he will think about it and either set the camera differently or think about zones.

    each infrared illuminator will blind him and any lamp, preferably halogen, but then he will see who is blinding him

    Cool topic ;) Why not write how to construct a portable model of the blinder and give yourself a high five ...


    Gentlemen, I am appealing for reason.


    The author bothers a lot, but he does not want to use the available and legal method ...

    Hello,
    Do you think that if you blind the neighbor's camera, he will be pleased with it? I believe that it will only start then ... It is better to use more civilized methods, i.e. to put blinds on the windows - as my colleagues advised.
    Greetings.

    PS: Or buy a car and park under your window ;)

    Hi.
    And I would try a laser, such a laser pointer for a few zlotys from a bazaar. Aimed at the camera lens.
    I do not express my opinion in the legal and moral aspects.

    My colleague Treborsz speaks well: when our neighbor put it on himself, he bought it for a few zlotys for sure, and you are only a speck at home :) Go show you the screenshot :) Legal-police

    It can be any camera, although it does not seem to have IRED lighting,
    It can also be a dummy ...
    Is the yard bright at night?
    Blinding it during the day will not work anyway, I would try to raise the background level, i.e. illuminating the windows with infrared light - it should give an effect similar to a mirror (at night), and it will not have a negative impact on the effectiveness of car observation.
    Greetings J.

    I suggest you do not blind the camera but mask your window ...

    The camera, even from the lowest price and technology shelf (and in my opinion, is in the photo attached to the previous post) is not defenseless against attempts at "blinding attacks". Probably installers-practitioners know about this:
    - the intensity of the light reaching the camera decreases with the square of the distance (the value of the distance is raised to the second power)
    - if any light source, even of extremely powerful intensity, emitted from a source outside the frame - is not a threat to the camera
    - if the camera is a color camera - there is no sense in using infrared as a source of interference or glare
    - cameras have different exposure automatics mechanisms
    - there is no stronger light source than the sun's rays - damage to the camera sensor (CCD / CMOS) may cause the sun's rays to fall DIRECTLY on the sensor - for a long time.

    In addition, I would like to add that if the camera from the photo attached to the previous post is used to observe the yard - its author can sleep peacefully.


    And one more thing. I believe that any consideration of interference with electronic security systems should not take place in this forum.
    Fortunately, the hitherto advice of "experts" on camera dazzling shows a lack of elementary knowledge of physics and the principles of operation of the camera. By the way - I am curious how many cases of "liquidation" of the camera by dazzling the participants of this discussion succeeded?

    Let's summarize:
    - this camera has no infrared,
    - if you took a photo from your own window, it looks in a different direction,
    - probably the image quality allows you to count the windows, not to look inside,
    - it is very possible that it is a dummy camera.
    Have you ever seen the image from that camera at your neighbor's?
    What was the picture quality?

    I propose to ask the neighbor to show what the camera sees and then you will know whether it is worth investing money in dazzling, masking, etc.

    Hmm, I suspect it's a dummy or a toy camera :) I am interested in the method of installation, no cables to the batten boxes, installation as on a coffer or nida, unless hidden, hm suspicious, and the IR is red glowing at night, you will know that it has a light well :)
