Sometimes a camera just needs a sock.
The Flock Sock is a slip on cover designed to help protect a Flock camera from the harmful radiation of the sun. Your city spent their very own hard earned tax dollars scattering these cameras everywhere to keep you safe, all it cost you was a little privacy. The very least you can do is help protect these valuable civil servants from getting a bad sunburn.
You could also add some sort of adhesive to make it so the protective cover wouldn’t blow off from the wind. I mean, like, it would really be on there. Almost permanent, even.
Just use a black plastic bag. If the sun cooks it, it will melt into the lens and ruin it anyway.
It could be tricky to get the bag over it if it’s windy, you would need something on the end of your stick to hold the bag open.
Something like that would actually make sense to make a 3d print of. It could be reused that way.
iirc the docs for flock sock said that some types of plastic will automatically self adhere in strong solar conditions.
Work smarter, not harder
Maybe a kind of spray-on adhesive, and what if the spray-on adhesive was opaque, then you get double protection!
Actually, then you would ONLY need the spray-on adhesive, just spray a healthy amount on the lens (the most light sensitive part) and you’d be done
Now if only there existed a product like that that is available in pretty much every hardware store and hobbyshop…
