Extremely bright LEDs, in somewhat long IR, should overflow even a pretty
good bandpass filter without being visible to the human visual system.  So
you could conceivably walk around as a CCTV-proof person.

The best thing would be using a macrovision-like duty cycle, such that you
aren't so much overflowing the thing as confusing its AGC.

Oh, there's got to be a security tie-in for this.

How about: using this type of software for CCTV tracking needs to be
universally
applicable?

Or: test your software/systems before they do you this kind of reputational
damage?

Or: silly but fun videos and social networking sites can waste your network
bandwidth.

(By the way, I just bought a netbook with a webcam built into it for the
first time,
and I have *no* idea at all what to do with it.  Any suggestions as to
[Windows]
software [preferably free] that will take pictures or video with it, even
if only to
test it out?)
