Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?

the problem with these fucking things is that you can’t really opt out. even if you don’t buy your own, some neighbours will happily buy and install the big brother to watch you from their porch and there is very little you can do about it.
same as you can’t really escape the google, even if you don’t use single one of their service, there is always the other part to any communication you are having…

Tell me without telling me that you’ve never needed the police to do anything useful.

Police love tracking down people caught on camera doing petty vandalism. Top priority. Clearance rates are very high.

DEAUTH for a couple days and shoot the lens with a laser. They’ll never figure it out.

Maybe we all need to start wearing clothes with bright infrared leds lining them?

In Belgium, it is legally required to put a sign up if you have cameras, you can’t point them at a place including public properties IIRC, and you can force them via the local government to move the camera if they are pointing at your property (at least in theory).
Lasers. Blue lasers are what you can do. reddit.com/…/what_is_this_person_doing_to_my_came… (hate to link to reddit but it is a good demo)

And DEAUTH attacks. Because they’re all dumb wifi cameras. You can keep them jammed and destroy them while they can’t upload footage.

it is similar here in czechia.

IR LEDs don’t work on these like with some CCTV cameras, right?

At close range they’ll blind them, but the tech is getting better these days.
What knocks out the camera is the auto exposure, they used to just take the whole sensors input, average it and set the brightness against that value. A lot of the newer surveillance cameras will just ignore the overall and compensate pixel per pixel.

Where I live, you can sue if the camera films more than their own property.

Most of them you can disable with DEAUTHs. Wifi cameras are a stupid concept.

Exactly. I never used Gemini or gave sensitive information/photos to major AI companies, but my family has, including photos of me.

I’ve never had a Facebook account. I’ve always hated when people posted pictures I was in and said who I was.
