Aren't flock camera more than just cameras as they scan for Bluetooth / wifi devices
I mean, plenty of security cameras have WiFi capabilities. Adding bluetooth wouldn't be a very big lift. It definitely wouldn't be big enough to prevent a smaller form factor.
Yes, they are static wardriving nodes as well as cameras
Sure, but there's no reason they couldn't be built into an enclosure that looks like other security cameras.
Alternatively, you just build a little box that has that extra stuff and plugs into a normal security camera, and you bury the box in the ground or put it inside a locked utility cabinet or something.
