Need to figure out a small scale, cheap, EMP device that can be set off to fry the cameras and sensors, but nothing else that is around.
I heard that certain laser pointers of a specific wavelength can cook most cameras.
maybe some kinda really directional antenna? like a laser but for the radio range of EM
need to have line of sight and accurate aim, however
Yaggi antenna.

so that's what they're called
The "Nothing else around" is the hard part of that.
Agreed, though I would expect one to not be carrying anything that could be affected by such a device, whilst deploying said devices. So personal devices don't count as needing protection AFAIC
If it's using Bluetooth to knacker them, then all the nearby Bluetooth devices would be vulnerable.
Medical equipment these days also can feature Bluetooth for mobile connectivity, and you can't exactly go without your defibrillator, hearing aids, or insulin pump.
