If you are close enough to cut cables, they already have you on video.

I regularly transmit 100 watts on HF using a dipole over my house. That's never knocked any of my IP cameras out. It's going to take more power than that, especially if you want to stay far enough away that the cameras can't get good video of you.

All of my cameras are hard wired. It's going to take a lot of power to jam those.

I wouldn't consider something to be bricked if it can be fixed by simply restoring a backup or reinstalling the OS.

That looks interesting. Does anyone have a link to it? The only thing that comes up in the search results is the liliputing article.

Then you need a very tall screen.

Digitizing is the easy part. Even though it's an ancient format, it's still just NTSC composite video and analog audio. You digitize it just like you would a VHS tape.

Yes, they do show up on ebay, but usually not in working condition. Then you have to find someone that can do a restoration. Keep in mind that there may only be one chance to play the tape before it falls apart, so the player needs to be working perfectly.

That tape is old and degrading. If it's not digitized soon, it will be lost.

The Ampex 1" type C video tape recorder needed is rare, but it's not impossible to find one. The NSA could certainly watch the video if they wanted to. The just don't want to go through the effort for a FOIA request.

Well, you found your problem then. You will need to get a decent quality SSD to speed it up. Avoid those cheap QLC SSDs, they are slower than mechanical hard drives once the SLC cache fills up.

All of that AI crap they keep pushing certainly doesn't help the energy consumption though.
