Driving home last night, and saw a flock camera pointed in to a field and not at the roadway.

This made me unreasonably happy.

Given how the cameras use ball mount clamps and simple hex tooling, this is a very effective DoS attack. The camera isn't disabled, and is still reporting as normal, just not uploading any traffic, because there is none.

YES!!!

@kajer Everyone needs to hold 80’s police movie nights next to them and crank up the sound.

@kajer when the cops show up tell them it’s a law enforcement appreciation party.

@badsamurai I've often wondered if snapping a belt right under the cam would match it's gunshot detection threshold?

@kajer @badsamurai They used to have so so many false positives for things like that, tailgates slamming, etc. Worth a try.

@cR0w @kajer @badsamurai actually, what you're looking for is the old 'pop cap' paper we used to have in the 80's.

These things.

@rootwyrm @kajer @badsamurai Yes! But are they loud enough? Maybe right next to the mic or in a coffee can. We used to put rocks in coffee cans with those and toss them. And hit them with hammers, stomp them with our classroom chair legs, etc. Good times.

@afeinman @cR0w @kajer @badsamurai our resident expert would have to test, but I also assume the enclosure and lens are ABS. Which means you definitely should not spray them with acetone or acetyl salicylic acid.

@rootwyrm there are plenty of sticky substances that don't do any harm.

@afeinman @rootwyrm

Acetylsalicylic acid is the chemical name for *drumroll*…

Aspirin

@datenwolf @afeinman @rootwyrm probably meant superglue? Can't remember the exact chemical... cyano-acrylate or something like that?
