    If you know Flock, most of their cheap cameras go down all by themselves. Even when they’re operating as intended, their capture rates are under 70%, which is why you usually find them in pairs monitoring the same direction of traffic. That dinky solar panel can barely power them through the night so most of their cameras are dead in the early morning hours.

    The only way Flock stays in business is by literally giving their cameras away by illegally installing them in municipalities and waiting for them to be ordered removed. You’d probably be doing most cities a favor by taking them down.
