Only cameras can see through Black-Ops Plastic

Monitoring a location or person with a camera or microphone has become a lot easier in recent years due to cameras having much higher resolutions while being fitted into ever smaller devices. Just about every smartphone now carries a high resolution camera capable of recording video along with a decent microphone.
If you want to record someone covertly though, you still have the issue of hiding your recording devices from view. You’re also going to want to leave them recording for long periods of time without being discovered. Qwonn, a manufacture of security products, has come up with the perfect solution to this problem and is calling Black-Ops Plastic.
The material is black in color and cannot be seen through with the naked eye. However, if you point a black and white camera at a sheet of Black-Ops Plastic, it becomes transparent allowing the camera to record whatever is on the other side.
What this means is you can hide a camera inside an object made of this special plastic and no one will know it is there. But the camera is free to record without having its view blocked.
As you can see from the images above, Black-Ops Plastic can be shaped into many different objects. Qwonn claim they can produce virtually any shape required for your spying needs.
Beyond a few images there’s very little detail as to how the plastic works. It’s patent pending so you can understand why Qwonn wouldn’t want to share much detail about it. The one thing it will guarantee though, is that everyone is more suspicious of shiny black plastic objects from now on.
