I mean the whole point of flock is that they can track you everywhere. Destroying their cameras doesn't destroy the footage.
If you destroy their cameras they will just trace your movements backwards until they find a way to identify you.
You need to find a way to do it surreptitiously so it's not clear who is doing it, and they won't be able to figure it out by process of elimination by seeing who is commonly present when a camera iss destroyed.
If this were really true, there would be no crime right now. Nancy Guthrie has been missing for months now despite the perpetrator being caught on camera in an affluent neighborhood where there would be many Ring, Flock etc. cameras. These companies overpromise and underdeliver as they all do. Their main purpose is get people to pay them. They are much less competent than they claim to be.
The easiest way to best an opponent is to always assume they have the upper hand. If flock cameras are half as good as they say they are then approaching it as if it were twice as good means it will be good enough to match.
Being over prepared will never cost you as much as being under prepared.
Possibly, but I don't wanna risk my freedom on them being incompetent rather than corrupt.
I just want to counter their propaganda is all
Fair
I think drone usage could solve some issues.
Idk, I think they can probably do a reasonable job tracing a drone back to it's takeoff location, and then tracking the person who brought it there back to their home, with decent coverage.
That said I don't know if I'm overestimating their ability regarding machine learning and AI - this is probably fairly labour intensive unless they've don't a good job preparing all their data and they have plenty of compute.
Depends on the drone.
DJI, yes.
Self builf without GPS or telemetry....probably not.
I mean if they can track a car around the city using their cameras, they can probably do the same for a drone. Even if you fly up out of view they could look for drones in a radius flying down into view and connect the dots.
Resolution of those cameras is limited and they are usually angled down. Also they are not on private property. So it can be assumed that max detection rate of a average sized done is maybe 80m tops, after that the drone itself is smaller than a singular pixel of the cam. Meanwhile range of those drones can be multiple km.
If u had said they can use the integrated wide band SDR recordings of cell towers to triangulate the remote controller....i would have given u a point, but triangulating a drone using cameras that look down is not credible.
I wonder how hard it would be to rig up a teeny drone with a bit of thermite?
That's an expensive way to get rid of a single camera, and they could theoretically track a drone around the city like they track people, and they'd track it back to you.
