We’ve extensively tested recovering data using the original RAW format images, and since the blown highlights go to complete 255,255,255, there is no recoverable data. Finally, you’ll notice that this is our earlier prototype with four bulbs – and that only one is firing. ![]() Putting the bulbs closer to the plate significantly increase lux, thus making the image even harder to see. Also, in that image the flash bulbs as well as the reflectors are several inches from the license plate – in the actual enclosure, its just a couple of centimeters. The reflective of aluminum foil is only about 80% the actual enclosure uses a mirrored surface well above 90%. First, we’re using aluminum foil for reflectors. Even that partially recovered plate is not legal for them to cite you from, so that’s still a win for the noPhoto.Īlso, you’ll notice a couple of things in that shot. If you head over to Scribd and search for Redflex, you’ll actually find some of their RFP’s and guidelines on identifying plates. Two quick things – partial plates are not allowed to be used for identification. Posted in digital cameras hacks, Transportation Hacks Tagged flash, license plate, overexposed, red light camera, traffic camera Post navigation There are pretty tight restrictions on using lights on your vehicles (colors, placement, etc.). According to the demo video after the break, the system can even defeat the pre-flash, and dual-photo types of cameras. The foil is reflecting a flash on either side onto the license plate using a flash sensor which acts as the trigger. ![]() As you can see, the noPhoto uses a flash of its own to overexpose traffic camera images. This traffic camera countermeasure puts it to an end. If you get caught in the middle when the light goes red they take a picture and you get a ticket in the mail. These are devices that monitor intersections. But even a careful driver can get caught by bad traffic and a red light camera. Don’t get us wrong, we drive very carefully as it’s the most dangerous thing we do on a regular basis.
