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.
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
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.

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

Easier to clean than replace, cheaper too.

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.

this is why you carry a spanner, not a hammer.
Elgenzay@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 1y
Doesn't go as hard though
lime@feddit.nu · 15 pts · 1y
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
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
home defense spanners. I've got a half meter one. it fits the giant bolts attaching my toilet to the floor/pipe and that's about it.

If every problem is a nail, every tool works like a hammer.

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

My favorite part is the way they climb down after destroying the second one

Yes! That drop is insane

Yeah, looks like fun.
