New 12V Jammer for Traffic Cameras: noPhoto

share on:
noPhoto

noPhoto is a device that mounts on the license plate that can stop a red light or speed camera ticket.

The small device detects when a traffic camera has flashed and then it  illuminates your license plate to blur the photo of your license.

noPhoto says you won’t get a ticket.

It is sold by noLimits, which came to the SEMA Show this month looking for a distributor.

The first version of noPhoto sold out on Indiegogo two years ago in a run of a few hundred units. It went viral at the time with 1 million hits, says Founder Jonathan Dandrow.

The new version should be available in January. It looks like a small bar that mounts either under or over the license plate. It includes a processor and an IR camera.

Specifically, noPhoto works by detecting when a traffic camera sends out a flash. Its processor determines whether it’s a true camera or just sunlight and then it illuminates the license plate at the precise moment so that the traffic camera photo appears as just a white blur and the ticket is thwarted.

The new version will aslo now also include Bluetooth and by the spring, it will be able to work with a small optional display that sits in the car and alerts you if a flash has been triggered.

Bluetooth may also allow firmware updates in the event that traffic camera technology changes, so noPhoto users don’t have to change out the device.

The device uses two wires to install.

  1. You are not obscuring the plate with anything but light, albeit at the prefect time when the flash is going off. Also, the video loop shows from far away and doesn’t clearly show the plate. The money shot is the close up with the flash, that’s the one you want to block.

    Those cameras are a nuisance and most people would be happy to protect themselves from them. In my opinion.

  2. I agree with Caveman tech in this one. I’ve got a ticket in the past by a red light camera and guess what , they sent me at least six photos with different angles of the vehicle including the front license plate and one of myself behind the wheel . So don’t waste your money on this device .

  3. In most states, and most cases, this is not LEGAL, since it is impeding clear view of the license plate, which is generally mandated by every state motor vehicle law to have a least one clearly viewed license plate, most commonly the rear.

    Also, if any of you have ever gotten a camera ticket, they usually have a video loop of the car 10 seconds BEFORE and 10 seconds AFTER the actual flash, rendering this pretty useless, unless it was on and illuminated at all times, which would definitely be illegal.

  4. From noPhoto FAQ page:

    Is the noPhoto legal?

    Since there is nothing physically covering or obscuring the license plate, the noPhoto does not violate any license plate cover laws. Quite literally, we are using the same light and the same bulbs that red light and speed cameras do. The noPhoto does not cover any state names, and there are no laws in existence regulating how much light is cast onto the license plate.
