When I take a picture of my licence plate with a personal camera the licence plate shows up in the photograph. How effective is PhotoBlocker against traffic cameras?
The correct way to test the effectiveness of PhotoBlocker is to use actual photo-radar equipment. Traffic cameras use a high intensity flash that is much more powerful than a personal camera. A modern personal camera will take a few second to measure the light, adjust exposure and distance before taking a picture and therefore the licence plate in the photograph is going to come out legible. A photo-radar camera works in a totally different way and does not have the luxury of a few seconds to establish the correct exposure and shutter speed. The cameras are programmed to take pictures on set parameters such as distance and ambient light. Cars zooming past are photographed in a split second. This is where PhotoBlocker spray comes in to play. Photo blocker’s unique chemical composition changes the amount of light reflected back to the camera and renders the licence plate illegible.
