Flock cameras just got even worse
I take out my phone battery when I travel in my car… I also use a cell phone modem to communicate via signal and delta chat. I also have a degoogle e/os phone. I also don’t go to places that have these flock cameras in their parking lots. ACE is the place
My exit off the highway has one. I could take the train…but so does the parking lot.
I can’t avoid flock. There’s one about every 500ft I feel like. If I go to my in-laws ~5 miles I’m probably on at least 5-7 cameras depending on which route. It’s bullshit!! Wish I had a way to blind the cameras while looking inconspicuous in person
FYI: Flock cameras are only powered by the solar panel with no backup power in almost every case. A solar panel will fail to produce power if a majority of it is covered and will be useless if a cell is damaged. Do with that info what you will.
But that would be cause to make a service call since it can’t phone home… No “heartbeat”.
However, it would be more unfortunate if the lens happened to become really dirty, with a paint-like film of dirt from the rain… Heartbeat alive, checks in, etc. Supposedly no footage or imagery leaves those devices, so shouldn’t know whether or not the camera fully functions.
