Also, how do you account for cameras that are so well placed that nobody even notices them?

pretty easily - with wifi and BLE scanning. it's not like there's a guy at Flock climbing every pole, sticking in a USB, and then trucking it back to home base

What if the camera is fully wired? Maybe Flock is only wifi based, but other cameras can be 100% setup with ethernet...

Is that how they work or are you just speculating wildly about things that are easily looked up in a few minutes?

Flock is a new in this market, before Flock there were loads of cameras wired up because wifi was not considered reliable until recent times. I'm asking, how do you detect well placed, subtle wired cameras? My overall point being, these apps are only as good as long as Flock and others don't just go fully hardwired (which before Flock, many were!).
