  • Patent number: 9426345
    Abstract: An intruding flash is detected by a light detector in a plastic case that may be mounted adjacent to a license plate or window which is made safe from the intruding camera. The flash detector triggers a counteracting light flash. The case and electrical PC board have reflectors to capture lost light, guiding direct and indirect light to the desired surface area, increasing the invention's counteracting flash over the “target” area protected from an intruder camera. The counteracting flash is not directed at the intruding camera to blind the entire camera lens and field of view as with previous art. Instead the counter flash is directed about perpendicular to the incoming angle of the intruding flash, over exposing only that surface area within the intruder camera's full field of view to be protected from photography, preventing only that portion of the intruder camera's field of view from being imaged.
