How can a simple doorbell camera have… let me convert from ye oldie measurements… almost a KILOGRAM of copper in it?!
Does it have a big heatsink for some reason?
Or is someone just trying to trick thieves into trying to steal them?

Flock cameras are doorbell cameras? Aren’t those these things: www.stopflock.com/images/FlockCam1.png

Flock Cameras are not for doorbells. They’re sold to law enforcement and local government to conduct surveillance on citizens, often placing one at each entry point to a community so there’s no way to enter or leave in a vehicle without the camera scanning your license plate and creating a record of your comings and goings. If you’re not interested in the copper, smashing the camera and destroying the more expensive solar panel makes for a romantic date night, too!
