Something like flipping a pixel would work if you manipulate the actual image (raw image) being fed to the software.

Here it is captured via a camera and then fed to the software and I doubt pixel level details are captured by a camera

Yes, I had a sense for what you were referring to and my reply was geared towards that. Not just flipping pixels.

Right, I understand what you mean now. You're saying that those subtle changes might not be captured by the camera, which makes sense. I don't have any experience with CCTV systems.
