In Minecraft it’s well known that lasers of even moderate power can ruin camera sensors. Only in Minecraft though.

Reflections are a concern regarding bystanders' eye safety, be safe.

  • What is the threshold for eye vs sensor damage and am I correct in assuming that duration is a factor. Basically less juice for a longer duration ruins a sensor but humans blink? For science.

    • I picked up an Axis security camera rated for ALPR use (the Q1700 series) and it has a safety warning telling me I shouldn't look at the built in IR LEDs for more than a minute...
