    It depends on the details of the camera, the distance from the person to the lens, and the brightness and directionality of the IR sources.

    If you’re screwing with an apple or windows depth map webcam image sure. You can screw with desktop computers and phones easily.

    If you’re trying to screw with a bank for an airport, or overhead high quality security imagery, or anything with a flash, absolutely not.
