LaserScan Sort of Long Range Hidden Camera Detector
Posted by Matt Buchanan at 12:20 PM on November 15, 2007
Billed as a "long range" hidden camera detector, its spotting powers only work within 50 feet. It's loaded with two pulsating lasers that scan for big brother eyes, which show up as flashing red lights in the scope. Supposedly it can ferret out pinhole cameras and ones stuffed inside of pens or buttons, making it great for the tinfoil set. Except for the fact it's totally obvious you're looking for cameras when you have it bolted to your face. [Spy Gadgets via Red Ferret]

Hmmmm....I think an acquaintance of mine would get two or three of these. You know, just as a precaution. You never know......
Hahah! If you need this, then you are in more crap than you should probably take on by yourself.

Could I ask how this thingy's "lasers" are detecting what amounts to a pinhole-sized piece of glass with a CCD chip behind it, at a distance of 50 feet? Other than by "pulsating". Unless this is some kind of advanced hi-tech "pulsating" I haven't heard about yet.
Because it's not like cameras have beams of light that shoot out of them at the objects in view, the way I thought they did when I was eight years old. Turns out it's actually the other way round: the camera just passively absorbs light coming in its lens. That's damn hard to detect.
Is this the same company that used to sell those "X-Ray Specs" out of the back pages of comic books?
