It would be such a shame if everyone found out high powered laser pointers with 5 milliwatt power or higher can permanently damage Flock safety camera sensors. And it would be even worse if they found out they were available on Amazon for less than $30. That would be really bad, I’m glad most people don’t know this. image

Many ways you could cause damage, it’s good to spread awareness so these things don’t happen accidentally 😉

Probably not 5G, microwave ovens operate at 2.45 Ghz, in the unlicensed ISM band. Cellular is all on licensed frequencies and their recievers have notch filters to block all the ISM noise. You could definately interfere with 2.4Ghz wifi. Be careful poking around inside a microwave, you can get a 5000V shock if you touch the wrong thing.
These laser pointers will damage the sensors but they won't destroy the cameras. Use a Blu-ray writer diode to make your own laser. This will be strong enough to destroy the camera, so that it's no longer filming.
Bold claim. Hard to believe you could functionally impact it with such a toy. I even doubt you can damage a single pixel that way. Who did the test? Are you selling toy lasers?
