REMINDER
Today’s surveillance cameras perform very well in low light conditions. In theaters, or any other public space, never assume that you can’t be seen because it’s dark. You can be seen. You are being seen. You are being recorded.
@fifonetworks It was amazing to be able to prove the wench was lying, but the video itself is rather chilling. I never would've expected to be on camera while in a theatre.
@fifonetworks Much as I hate to say it, this means that, by calling attention to the ubiquity of IR surveillance, Lauren Boebert has done something worthwhile. Of course, entirely by accident.
@fifonetworks Yes, I noticed those images from the Buell Theatre in Denver. My first thought was how do some businesses justify the grainy images on their security when this technology is available? But your point is a good one. It was true for several years before COVID that cameras are everywhere. And people don't realize it. Always assume we are on camera.
@fifonetworks
They see how much we enjoyed the movie
They see how we ate our food at fast food
They see how are we walking from 100+ cameras at every angle and street
They see what are we doing on the internet
They even see what are we doing at our homes
AND PEOPLE STILL PRETENDING THIS IS OK!? WE MUST FINALLY RESIST!!
@fifonetworks Fun fact, a lot of black/dark-coloured clothing appears light grey or white to IR-sensitive cameras. A simple sharpie and some creative writing can make for great fun.
@fifonetworks Most of these cameras have infrared illuminators on them which are on the edge of the human eye's sensitivity range, and will be visible as a dim reddish glow if you look in the right spot.
The absence of such a glow doesn't mean there are no night cameras present, but if you do see it you're almost certainly being recorded.

Just an FYI to help increase the paranoia - many theatres use infrared transmitters for their hearing assist systems. There will be at least one that is line-of-sight from every seat.
