fubarxAmericans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras | TechCrunch
Couple dead pixels from a particularly bright light might well make them unable to do their plate reading job efficiently. Might make for an interesting study.
That might actually work, but it’s probably easier and safer to just use a can of spray paint
mjrI doubt the lenses are glass, which means the solvents in spray paint will be, effectively, impossible to clean off without damaging the lens in the process. I doubt they have a maintenance team with such finesse as opposed to one that just replaces the device, just every other US support service.
GhostalmediaThese things are usually pretty high up. The camera in my neighborhood are about 15ft / 4.5m up. When one goes down, they have to queue up for a truck to be sent out.
TʜᴇʀᴀᴘʏGⒶʀʏ⁽ᵗʰᵉʸ‘ᵗʰᵉᵐ⁾If you can climb a rope, the poles that Flock use are narrow enough to be climbed the same way
My closest examples are banded to existing street light poles with some ~12ga stainless hose clamps, maybe 10ft up. Private parking lot security. I’m guessing your example (like the thumbnail?) is the choice for a town police dept or housing dev that can’t attach to street lights
Ohh, yep- I forgot about those ones! I’ve seen some like that around my area, but most here are on those skinny poles like shown in the thumbnail
