I don't have a very complete answer, but I've been looking into this.
Some things that either absorb or reflect infra-red light:
-Plexiglass
-Water
-Some Mirrors
-The coatings of some cool-colored light-bulbs.
-Some Red Paints
-A cloth that gets especially hot in the sun. It's hard to tell with black cloth, because it absorbs so many other spectrums of light. If you find a light-colored cloth that for some reason gets hotter in the sun than other cloth, it probably absorbs infra-red.
-The effect of Aluminum foil may be useful in distributing heat and blocking.
-Some sunglass lenses
-Most Plants
There are some other substances and filters that are kinda hard to find or use, but apparently, some Japanese company is making underwear that blocks infra-red.

Apparently they're made of nylon and polyurethane.
Hope that helps!

∙ 14y agoInfra-red cameras detect heat. To fool one you need a suit or screen with metal and plastic linings to insulate the heat from your body. Some hunting stores will sell insulated suits but most aren't high enough quality. The issue with building a screen is that it must be big enough to also shield the air heated up by your body.

Infrared is like light with a wavelength beyond the range of human eyes. It can however be picked up by infrared photographic film and digital sensors (digital cameras usually have a filter to block it out though). When taking infrared photos an infrared filter is needed in front of the lens to block out the visible light.

Choosing a Wireless Security Camera?
Security cameras come in black and white, color, or infrared. Black and white cameras will be cheapest, and record better in low light than color cameras, although not nearly as well as infrared. On the other hand, color cameras capture information that would be important in identifying an intruder. Infrared camera can't pick up hue or small details, but they provide the best coverage by far in a low-light situation. If you need to run the camera at night, get infrared cameras or an automated, hybrid color-infrared solution. Analyze your situation and choose the right camera for it.
