Laser surveillance defeater

Translate Into:

Filed under:


Imagine our chagrin when we first laid eyes on this "laser surveillance defeater." It's supposedly built to the security requirements of federal agencies. We don't believe most government issue devices have exposed circuit boards or 9V batteries dangling from them. Laser surveillance works by bouncing the beam off of a room's window. People speaking in the room cause the window to vibrate, which modulates the reflected laser beam. This device looks like it's just a piezo buzzer meant to vibrate in vocal ranges. A quick search didn't turn up any DIY projects, but it looks simple enough. Shomer-Tec would love you to purchase one for every window at $69 each. A small price to pay when you're taking on people willing to spend $20.
