to make vid

the phones had to be on with gps tracking active to trigger gps camera mode

It was supposed to be accellerometer activated

sure its possible

the dude is a ex nasa engineer

but the interactions are too convenient

he covered this in the video @Timcast - he had charger at the bottom

that doesnt mean anything

im not defending the guy but giv him some cred

it reminds me of early 2000s reality TV

hot many mAH could get in that?

20,000?

hes more honest than CNN

for 4 phones?

sure

but come on

and he had 3 people rob his porch?

dude im from the hood and have friends that 'upset'

@Timcast : As a ham radio operator. something similar has been experimented with using what's called the APRS protocol.

i think the vid was stupid though i agree with you tim on dat

The real question is, why would be put a phone in the box at all

@Timcast also they werent recording all the time, only when accelerometer detected move 😉

i get that

48M views, thats probably 400k in click revenue?

i think it's just a bandwagon to "expose thieves".. some youtubers actually get robbed n what not. like sepentza

but before we even talk about tech

and no, it s not done with a phone, it's done with a hand held (handi talkie) using RF.

Im in the wrong industry

lets talk about 3 different people robbing his house

im from the southside of chicago

There are some areas where pckage theft is common

gangbangers climbed through my windo and stole my playstation

i actually had two tires robbed in front of where i live

i lived in seattle with meth heads and that would 'upset'

this shit is rare

"upsetting" is what its called when you steal boxes off porches

seattle sucks i hate living here

well let assume he has high-risk neighbourhood... the weird thing was (at least for me) - he didn't include if they were reported to police 😉

they even stole a a/c someone ordered

id say it's fairly rare yeah. considering how many packages are sent per day.

more people have HD cameras
