A Confounder is device generating a broad spectrum of white noise, low level microwaves, and flashing lights at quick random intervals into both the infrared and ultraviolet visual range. Detecting the Confounder is very easy as the broad spectrum emissions are bright. However sensing or recording events in the area near by is very difficult as the Confounder overwhelms the sensors.
