Counter Camera detects binoculars, cameras and rifle scopes pointing at you and even people staring

Current anti-sniper counter measures depend on the sight or sound of the initial shot, and by that time, it may be too late. Now a new device which uses the same “red-eye” effect of flash cameras and projects it hundreds of meters, can identify binoculars, sniper scopes, cameras and even human eyeballs that are staring at you. It is hence the first machine that can offer 24/7 warning that you are being watched or targeted, BEFORE a shot is fired.

The CS300K™ Long Range Counter Surveillance Camera is the brainchild of high tech surveillance equipment manufacturer JETprotect, and will be a welcome addition to the armory of those who currently spend a lot of money on trained guards watching CCTV monitors.

..... can identify binoculars, sniper scopes, cameras....

WOW, "sniper scopes"!

Are those anything like, 'Rifle Scopes'?
Or are "sniper scopes" somehow different?
And are "sniper scopes" only bought by;

'Right Wing-extremist-militia member-gun nuts-who hate the government-cling to their Bible and US Constitution- and their knuckles drag when they walk'

people?

You can look at me...as long as your head is bowed in reverence.

this will be a godsend to the perpetually paranoid - “See, I told everyone was watching me!” :-)

I've known for years everyone was watching me, but no one would believe me.

Now I can prove they are watching, but no one will believe the machine. Life is so unfair! :)

[longtermmemmory]

care to explain how this works? (for educational purposes)

[Spktyr]

Fire from inside a closed window with a semi-auto. First shot breaks the glass, second and subsequent shots does whatever you intend.

You are going to take away its feast?

[null and void]

Something like that...

[Del Rapier]

Not a bad idea actually if it can get working.

[Candor7]

Easily countered by a simple veil made of gauze over one’s face.Of course the rag heads do not have this simple counter measure in their arsenal at all , do they?

[Candor7]

News to me. No more looking at the fair ones IMHO.LOL.

[Candor7]

Hennie, you have eye tracks all over your jacket!

I I mean this is a bit ludicrous?)

Its a reflected light detector.

[rlmorel]

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Wish I had one...it makes my Garand look sedate!

[hennie pennie]

I thought that a device like this might provide alot of SAFETY for anyone conducting surveillance?

[Redcloak]

This can be defeated by placing an optical isolator in the observer’s lens system.

[PLMerite]

Nice, is it yours?

Tell me about the muzzle brake.

[lentulusgracchus]

Could have some interesting military uses.

I wonder, does it work against scopes fitted with antiflash/flare shrouds and filters?

Against night-vision scopes equipped with pinhole apertures?

Might bring back the old Creedmoore "ladder" sights if it works against all that.

[Candor7]

Well Maybe, but its easily foiled IMHO.

[Smokin' Joe]

Just hang a toilet paper tube with a ‘lens’ (broken pickle jar) pointed in the general direction and use it for ‘bait’....

[atomic_dog]

Tell me about the muzzle brake.

Springfield Armory makes that muzzle brake for Californians because we are so elite.

Heh heh, not really. Our masters in Sacramento do not allow us to have flash hiders so we get brakes on our M1As instead.

I believe this device is sensitive to people’s retina- the part that gets lit up red in flash photos.

If a person is looking through a telescope or binoculars, you will see a very magnified image of that person’s pupil if you look in the large end.

So this device apparently projects an invisible wavelength of light and detects the “red-eye” reflection which will be magnified if some sort of scope is being used.
