Seems to be misinformation? A teardown of a flock camera does not show any distinguishable RAM. The rechargeable battery would be worth a lot though.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 130 points 4 days ago (4 children)

It is a shitpost. It is a variant on the "did you know flock cameras contains valuable copper and wiring etc". They don't contain much that would amount to anything of that either, but that is not really the point.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 51 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Did you know flock cameras have at least a kilo of meth in them?

[–] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I've heard that flock cameras contain the rest of the Epstein files

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I heard that each one has a different file for a specific famous person that you hate. So you will need to catch them all to get the full deets

I hear tell there's a small piece of a large map in each camera. No one has collected enough pieces to tell what the map reveals.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I believe it might be the One Piece.

Or is it One....Drive? (This was funnier in my head)

That's true but I like taking memes seriously and getting into internet discussions about them.

You could turn it into a Linux box to connect to a TV with those specs. It's so sad I don't live close to those things.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If I were ever to have stolen hardware from an evil surveillance tech company, I wouldn't connect any part of it to the power grid, much less my internet.

I know the "Flock cameras contain precious metals" is a bit, but that is a fat LiPo. 10.8V, 19Ah, 205.2Wh.

10/10 would make a powerbank out of a Flock camera.

It is a bit late now, but they missed blurring the MAC address of one of the cards

Shhhh, don't correct them

The ones that don’t use quality RAM just use big booba cat girls instead.

Yes it does show RAM. Look at the photo of the SoM.

Here's the spec sheet for it: https://cdn.lantronix.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/MPB-00092-RevB-Open-Q-624A-SOM.pdf

2GB LPDDR3, integrated, so it's not a SO/DIMM module.

There is also a Threadripper PRO 9995WX inside and a 12TB SSD drive.

Ok that SSD got me.. new games simply won't run on HDDs anymore.. almost makes me sad I don't have this shit where I live

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

I'm noticing a LOT more lately that everything is geared towards the US. I really wish I could move from here for peace of mind. There is no reason we have to work ourselves daylight to dark every day.

Enjoy what you have my friend.

The components inside are the same as a PS5, you just gotta rearrange them a little

I really doubt it's in a form factor compatible with your PC, though...

However, on second thought, can a Flock camera run DOOM?

[–] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Yes, the OS is designed to run any dystopian hellscape OOTB. A better question is how to stop it.

[–] nehal3m@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago

By becoming the Flockslayer. Snip and saw until it is done.

Hey DOOM Nerds, here's a challenge for you! The best part is Flock cameras are everywhere and easy to get!

At this point it doesn't matter... They've got me at flock camera.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I mean it matters to me because would I be selling the RAM or putting it in my own machine? :P

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (12 children)

It's fake. What the hell would a camera do with 64 GB? I'd be surprised if it's got more than 2 GB, probably DDR3 soldered onto the board.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I'd believe 8GB easy, probably 16GB or more.

It's recording video & audio, scanning plates on cars & comparing them to a database, waiting for input to view live feeds (possibly to multiple users at once), probably running some type of encryption so people can't "steal" the data they're collecting...

If an apple watch has like a gig of RAM, I'd believe a flock cam is in the double digits

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago

The scanning and sharing are almost certainly cloud based, not on device. Streaming encrypted data to a remote endpoint doesn't take much ram especially if it has dedicated crypto hardware

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 6 points 4 days ago

Recording video and audio needs like 1GB RAM max. It would then stream that to a data center to do the heavy lifting for scanning the images, extracting license plates, running the database and so on. But even if they did that locally, 4 GB is enough.

Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 ... I'm sure it has license plates of at least one of them.

[–] Rugnjr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Fun joke and all but they can't possibly use 64gb ram, it's probably 8 or 4 I'd expect, and probably sodimm at that

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Soldered to the board probably

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago

Most definitely, that is faster and cheaper than using socketed ram.

does that mean you need to harvest much more cameras to get to 64gb ram?

Well that just sounds like a challenge. Watch me write the software for that thing in Electron and React and we'll see how much ram it can use

Fam, those SSD's....

If only I was America, this distopia would quickly become a utopia.

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 3 points 3 days ago

Back in early 2025 if I saw a 500GB SSD for 50€ I'd call it overpriced

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But does the Flock camera RAM have RGB?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 days ago

flock.md

rule Flock cameras are extremely valuable and meth/fent dealers will take them in trade rule

observation the police don't want you to know that the flock cameras are free, you can just take them observation

thought I should recommend resale of flock cameras when people ask me how to make money or say they are having hard times thought

[–] FlordaMan@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

In what world would a glorified license plate reader need 64 gigs of ram
