5 to 50 watts
And blinding everyone around you too!
You're going to need a rather tight beam to hit that camera and it will only for milliseconds. It would take really bad luck to hit someone continuously long enough through a reflection (drastic reduction in power level by then) to damage their eyesight, plus camera optics are not very reflective of infrared as they need it for night vision, so they're especially sensitive. But yes, this should be treated with the seriousness of a gun.
At that point I'd just spray paint them. Much safer, easy to buy in cash, and I assume it costs a lot to send someone to clean it up
You know cameras have an IR filter during the day right.
