Automobile Camouflage to Hide from Flock Cameras
Schneier on Security highlights a printed vehicle-camouflage pattern tested to defeat Flock surveillance cameras and Axon body cameras.
The post discusses covering cars with printed patterns designed to fool Flock automated license-plate recognition software, with testing reportedly done against Flock and Axon body cameras. Reader comments question effectiveness against other ALPR vendors, Flock's RF MAC-address upgrade, and whether such camouflage might become regulated. The page also contains off-topic comment threads about anti-bot over-blocking and privacy.
- Camouflage pattern was specifically tested against Flock and Axon body cameras.
- Commenters doubt coverage of other ALPR vendors and RF-based detection upgrades.
- Legal status of anti-surveillance vehicle bodywork patterns remains unclear.
