A plastic bag lined with tinfoil would be more practical. Quick and dirty faraday cage

I bet a 3d printed case lined with foil would get the same thing accomplished and be less noticable for those who might notice a bag and take it down

Wouldn't it be suspicious if cameras loose their connection to the system? I guess in that case a technician would be sent out quickly.

Sure would be a shame if they had to spend a ton of money sending techs all over the country to troubleshoot cameras with covers on them.

Has the flock companies readiness to repair workforce ever been really assessed?
