Regretful cities aren’t sure how to cancel their surveillance contracts, so they are literally covering their cameras.

Fun fact the panel, inverter, and battery set up in these do not have any tracking features, that’s all in the internals for the camera controller. It’s enough to charge any smart phone or tablet if someone you know is living outside and should have a need of that. You do not need anything more than a Philips head screwdriver for most versions, and a security bit for others, both of which you can have for pennies at any hardware store.
I guess the problem starts when two other cameras are watching the same area the first camera is in.
Some flock stuff has microphones so avoid talking during the maintenance session 😜
They also include SIM cards that come with a Flock-funded data plan.
Bring an all metal tool box to put the camera in it. Instant faraday cage.
Best to open it somewhere that is not frequented by you though, then you can remove the battery and other useful stuff for recycling.
Or just throw the whole thing in the nearest dumpster and let the garbage company take care of it.
Remove the batteries first!
If you cut the solar panel wire at night, no one will know when it happened.
Charge controllers detect open circuit connections, so it will very likely be in a log when suddenly the controller has an open circuit on the input terminals.
Spray paint the solar panel?
Spray paint the camera
Why not both?
