    Is there a good way to damage, disable, or render these less effective that is easy to execute on?

    Asking for a friend.

      Paintball gun probably. Can be done from range and more hidden. Maybe the force of the impact wil even damage the camera lens.

      Though hitting it accurately enough might be a challenge in the beginning, but practice makes perfect.

        Okay I like this as I do have a paintball gun in storage…

        …but can’t they just clean it off fairly easily?

        My concern is if the quantity of my actions hits a threshold I will face…problems.

        I don’t know much about the construction of the cameras but freezing paintballs was a thing in my day…
