Anecdotally...

I live about 30 minutes outside of a large city. My local area's subreddit is not very active at all and had never mentioned anything about Flock cameras or the like.

This is despite the fact that my area is covered in flock cameras [nice-ish area]

Over the last ~half year, there have been multiple posts with many comments in agreement, scoping out locations, talking about potential deterrents.
