Cameras as usually passive (i.e. they don't emit light or any radiation, they just absorb the one that happens to land on their sensor), so no, not really.
Tha would be true only for those infrared cameras that have active IR LEDs to see at night, or lidars, radars, structured light 3d cameras, time-of-flight distance sensors, etc or anything that actually emits something. Regular cameras don't.
That's a bummer. Is there a heat sensor or something? It's doing something passive sunglasses don't, there has to be a way to tell?
Get your own glasses with infrared cameras (they can see heat) and then you can tell who’s got the camera glasses. Well, whoever has smart glasses.
But then would I look like someone who is filming people to other people who also have IR glasses?
Hmmm.... yeah, I guess so.
