WARNING: Definitely DO NOT point a [1000mW, 532nm laser] at Flock cameras. It totally won't damage the sensor and render the camera ineffective. So please don't consider it, okay?

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.
