Especially not with multiple at once :nkoShrug:

Those poor billionaires only need more data on us

It would be a shame if surveillance cameras began to need surveillance cameras to protect them and in turn needed surveillance cameras to protect them and fairly soon it would turtles all the way down.

How could anyone do this? I mean, how exactly somebody could do this? Which terrible device model would they use? and how?
That's so sad!
Poor cameras.

Unfortunately, a standard, legal 5mW laser pointer will only temporarily overexpose a Flock camera.

To do any permanent damage, you would most likely need a high-powered laser (over 500mW?) and they're not easy to procure.

#bennJordan has been making incredible videos about #flock cameras, rolling up to his city council with receipts, etc

is there any special color (green, red) or model we should know about? It would be horrible to buy such a model by accident.

you can purchase relatively cheap Astronomical Lasers. They are designed to be used with your telescope. They are hot enough that the beam feels warm to the touch and will permanently warp/scar the optical lens of most cameras. They remain effective for this purpose at a range of about 100m. They are also useful against CCTV lenses and of course extremely dangerous to pig eyes.

they are doing it wrong because they need a different color per camera. :)

And you shouldn't use those cat laser pointers from the dollar store.

I feel like the paintball enthusiasts are left out of this warning. They feel sidelined, and that’s a total travesty.
in reply to stux⚡️

will it actually disable that much of the sensor?

Having to look at it to aid in aiming seems like an identification risk beyond just tearing it down from a blind angle.

in reply to stux⚡️

many people posting this info and barely anyone mentioning that it doesn't actually work.
