ULPT: Dealing with security cams...

Not that I would EVER recommend this, but if you have devious activities planned, a long stick can have a cotton ball glued to the end. That cotton ball could theoretically be coated with butter or Crisco, and then smeared on the lens of the camera(s). Then everything just looks blurry. Much better than cutting a wire where everything just looks black and is much more prone to being noticed right away. Stay safe out there folks!

If you're close enough to poke it with a stick, it likely already filmed you. Laser pointers are the go-to for cctv cameras. The shitty wifi cameras everyone uses now can be easily disabled with a device that fits in your pocket.

Well, if you have a decent enough stick, you could wear a disguise like a hoodie and a mask, and sort of reach around from the side or back of the camera, so you are standing right outside it's field of view. Obviously that only works in certain situations. In a hallway, for instance, you won't be able to come at it from the back or from the sides usually.

Real pros just do their shady shit in baseball bomber jackets and wear animal masks. If there's anyone left to check the cameras, then you didn't finish the job.

Or with a piss disc machine gun
DuffleCrack@reddit
Wait, you defrost your piss discs for this?

Drop them in the gutters like a Ukrainian
WellsFargone@reddit
I save time and use pre-frozen
Fluffychipmonk1@reddit

Wear a mask with highly reflective tape or something coated in vanta black

Have you seen a high vis vest on a security camera at night time? You’ll stand out but no one will be able to tell who you are.

I've used strong blue or green lasers to take out the sensor of cameras before. Not for nefarious reasons, more to prove a point to the people who didn't think they needed better cameras and coverage
Big_Coyote_655@reddit
Lasers are a thing too!
draeden11@reddit
The best part of this is that it is non destructive.
MirrorNo@reddit
Laser pointers are pretty good at fucking up cameras, look for one with an infrared function so they can't trace the light back to you.
eerun165@reddit
Hate to burst your bubble, but those LED lights for night vision on the cameras, are infrared. The camera will see the laser.
MirrorNo@reddit
I forgot about that...
Gen_JohnsonJameson@reddit (OP)
Except how would you know it's damaged? With my method, you pretty much know that you actually hit it and it's got goo all over it.

Better to use is glass etching cream.
Gen_JohnsonJameson@reddit (OP)
Except I'd be willing to bet that most cameras nowadays are covered with clear plastic.
Decon_SaintJohn@reddit
Possibly, but since the glass etching cream contains an acid, it will also make rhe plastic opaque.
