putting a picture in front of a camera would NOT work: 1) field of view would not be identical to the real image, and worse, 2) the picture would not be in focus as those video camera lenses are set for a distance of several feet, if not infinity.
shareExactly what I thought at that scene
shareIt doesn't matter because without a light shining on the photo the camera would just display a black image.

But if a guard was watching they'd see a picture cover the image they were looking at. It's ridiculous, come on.
share1. is not a valid complaint because you can match the FOV.
2. would be a valid complaint if you are a security camera expert. Most people I think will accept the idea that maybe the camera is auto-focusing. Maybe they do auto-focus in real life too.

Yeah, I agree, maxloh.
Obviously to actually do this in real life would be very difficult and require careful testing. But for the purposes of a movie, I think the vast majority of the audience is willing to suspend their disbelief the little bit required for this event.

Thor Trek 2: Into the Dark World
Starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, the father of Captain Kirk
Yeah, this entire film was essentially implausible (I still found it fun, if easily forgettable), so I felt that scene fit right in with all the other circumstances that took place.
shareBest fake-out of a security camera I've ever seen in film was in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Although the technology used was pure fantasy, it was very clever nonetheless.
shareWhy are you analysing this to the death? Just sit back, relax and enjoy the FICTIONAL work known as a MOVIE.
