Awww. It looked really fun to try. But yeah that's probably true about the filters. Neat concept either way.

IR illuminators will absolutely blow out IR cameras but IR cameras are generally getting used less and less for daytime capture for the simple reason that they can be blown out by IR illuminators. They sort of work with old-school security cams and don't work worth a shit against paparazzi. Expect that any video stream used for facial recognition is going to be paparazzi-grade, not 250 TV lines of 15 frames per minute.
