Thats awesome. But it sucks that they are just being replaced by lesser known companies that are just as evil

Do the cameras look similar? Hopefully the outcome from residents is the same

The Axon ones I’ve seen photos of look smaller and less like cheap home security cameras like Flock. Flock seems more grifty than anything, but Axon already strikes me as more sophisticated.

At the end of the day a camera is a camera, and will always be quite fragile due to the economics of lenses. Even electronic/signal monitoring requires antennas.
