I had heard previously that shining multiple laser pointers at a camera will break it. Just a thought.

    How powerful do we need to get for that. It'd be a clean way to work on the issue. You'll need to be in line of sight though i imagine.

    We got into this in detail on other social media. Some camera types are more susceptible, but the more powerful lasers are dangerous as shit , that could take out any camera. You need eye protection, and welding goggles might not do it because it's different wavelengths. I'm not a technical guy so I can't say precisely.

    But the regular laser pointers can take out some cameras.
