I find it interesting that glass can fool an infrared camera while in most homes windows tend to be a source of heat loss. This is because heat can be transfered in three ways radiation, conduction, and convection.

In the movie called the Saint (1997) Val Kilmer wears what looks like a black military flight suit (Apollo/Skylab A7L suit) to match his body temperature to the surroundings to fool the security system.

I also wonder if sun screen with UV protection would fool an infrared camera?

Yes a towel or basically anything you can put between yourself and the sensor works fine, tested it on my alarm.

It would be interesting if the sheet also could fool the infrared detector. The sheet being cool, and not in contact with the body should stay cool…

Also, a vest wouldn’t cover the face or hands, the strongest sources of infrared from a clothed human body.

The heat detector emits infrared. Different from x-rays.

Was the Heat Detector being fooled by Mud come from the movie Predator when Arnold is covered in mud and Predator doesn’t see him? I am wondering if a Lead Vest will fool the Heat Detector – Since Lead Vests are used to block X-Rays.
