These things are usually pretty high up. The camera in my neighborhood are about 15ft / 4.5m up. When one goes down, they have to queue up for a truck to be sent out.
If you can climb a rope, the poles that Flock use are narrow enough to be climbed the same way
My closest examples are banded to existing street light poles with some ~12ga stainless hose clamps, maybe 10ft up. Private parking lot security. I'm guessing your example (like the thumbnail?) is the choice for a town police dept or housing dev that can't attach to street lights
Ohh, yep- I forgot about those ones! I've seen some like that around my area, but most here are on those skinny poles like shown in the thumbnail
