I just purchased a night vision security camera to be used outside and it's weakness is that it gets completely blinded by a red laser. How do I avoid this or modify it so that the laser doesn't affect it?

Answer
Best is to position the camera in such a way that this can be avoided. Red laser blinds the camera not because of the color but because of the intensity in a small area. Even if you use a filter, it won't help much and with the new laser pointers of different colors it can be even more difficult to use a filter.

I'm looking for a security camera that I can use outdoors with night vision because I have been receiving a lot of pranks.
Wireless cameras would be great but wired ones are good too!

Answer
You could check out the Cisco-Linksys Wireless-N Internet Home Monitoring Camera. With its high-performance network camera provides a low-cost, convenient solution for remote monitoring and home security. Its a stand-alone system with a built-in CPU, Web server and multiple video format compatibility. It's multi functional surveillance system supports high-quality video and audio, and its authentication process requires a user name and password set by the camera's administrator
