At this point a water balloon full of paint seems cheaper, more efficient, and more discreet.
I wouldn’t say more discreet or efficient, but cheaper yes, at least in the short run but there will always be systems that are hard to hit with a balloon due to their height and if all they need is some solvent in a backpack sprayer to undo your work then in the long run you’ll need to buy a lot of paint and balloons. Efficient to me is carrying something that fits in a backpack and can be charged on a home outlet and take out hundreds
It does have a much lower upfront cost though which is a consideration
I mean standing point a laser at a camera for several minutes seems less discrete and efficient.
You can disable a camera in a few seconds. Pick the right paint with the right additives you may even damage the components.
Either way it’s a big cost to take it down and fix. I doubt they’re sending someone up on a ladder, but who knows. With the paint method someone could disable dozens in an hour.
You got me on the height though. Can’t best the laser there
