    those things are tough! I’ve been watching this video for an hour and it still hasn’t broken.

    Wouldn’t spray paint or spray on white grease be easier?

      Doesn’t hold the same visceral satisfaction, I think. We’re at the point where things are bad enough that they put everyone on edge. The time for non-violence is quickly fading.

      ive seen videos where people have tried to spray paint doorbell cameras and it doesn’t stick (it looks like it drips off)

      Would also be easier to clean it off. If you break them and take the pieces away they have to replace them entirely.

    You should never commit vandalism and this is wrong.

    However, from a safety perspective and in the interest of keeping people from falling to their deaths. A 1W laser will burn out the sensors on most every digital security camera from quite far away. (Wear eye protection, don’t stare into the beam reflection).

    Never do this, it is a crime, for educational purposes, in minecraft, etc

    this is why you carry a spanner, not a hammer.

        true, everyone knows that hitting something with a spanner fixes it rather than destroying it

        on the other hand they do make meter-long spanners

      Small wire cutter should be quicker there’s a wire comming out the back of those. One snip and it’s offline.

    Yeah, looks like fun.

    Would probably be better to just grab the wires out the back and give them a good yank. The cameras are built to withstand hail and high winds. A few slaps with the world’s smallest hammer isn’t going to bother them much.

    Personally, I’d go with a drone rigged with a spraypaint can.

    Also, unrelated, but you can use a plastic water bottle to easily fill water balloons with stuff that isn’t water, like a paint/sand mixture.
