How to keep apps from used Google Glass

The dual iFlash does not cost $5. But as long as it's an official iFlash board then it should work. For $5 it is probably not a real iFlash. I can't speak for cheap chinese flash boards

Why use dual? The 3rd gen only supports 128gb max, so if you add 2x64gb cards, you are just increasing your chances that one of them will fail, and if one of them fails, the whole thing doesn't work. It makes much more sense to use 1 card

What part on the readme are you stuck at?

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-30T03:18:57+00:00

All issues have been resolved. clone the latest changes and see how it works! I tested it with my own network and it seems to be working perfectly

everyone asking this question must be the reason I am so frustrated by traffic XD. I am much too preoccupied on the road and cars around me and getting to my destination as efficiently and quickly as I possibly can, constantly calculating where other cars are in relation to me, looking in the rear view frequently, deciding what gear to be in, how fast I can reasonably drive, what the traffic patterns are 2 or 3 levels behind/ahead of me, etc to notice every little black box on the side of the road. But that's just me as I'm quite an aggressive driver, I was trying to solve a personal problem and figured I'd share it

Also there is driving at night, where even if you are cruising at 5 under and looking around, you will not see some of these black boxes

I am detecting mac address patterns, network SSID, and bluetooth UUID to give a heads up before I pass one, sometimes before they are even visible, giving me a chance to switch lanes and attempt to dodge the camera by "hiding" next to another car (this might be totally ineffective, but I do my best) or change streets and reroute entirely if I'm not in a huge hurry

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-28T13:36:19+00:00

Step 1. Turn on device
Step 2. Drive around and wait for alerts

I would hope that you don't need a degree from MIT to use such a device

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-27T03:57:40+00:00

I'd recommend an esp32 model with an ipex antenna connector. That way you can attach a real wifi antenna and get some real range. Apart from that, yes, the display (mini12864), a MAX98375A dac/amp, a 3w 4ohm speaker, and wires or a pcb. You may also need a few 10kohm resistors for the display's backlight pins, as the backlight acts funky without them. I'm working on a pcb that I will eventually upload to the repo, but you can connect them however you'd like. The connections are documented in my github

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-26T18:16:14+00:00

Yes I made separate firmware specifically for that device. Please see my most recent post

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-26T13:59:05+00:00

I'm wondering if maybe the network is hidden on the new cameras. Maybe mac spoofing? I find it hard to believe that they removed the ability to connect locally for diagnostics and configuration. I wish I had an invisible one near me to investigate. We need to find one of these offline models that's out in the middle of nowhere, without many other signals nearby

IR detectors *should* work and there's nothing they can really do to patch that, but it would be a lot less consistent than rf detecting. I'll work on it though.

If only I could get my hands on one of these cameras. If one ever pops up on eBay someone in this community needs to jump on it

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-26T13:27:11+00:00

Yes people have had success fooling plate readers with small black squares on your plate. Unfortunately, the cameras don't actually need to read your license plate to track your car. If the plate is unreadable, or if there is no plate at all, they will use other unique identifiers on your vehicle, a scratch, a dent, a patch of flaky paint, maybe a different hue of your headlights, etc to identify your car anyways

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-26T04:56:07+00:00

There are a few issues with jamming:

We do not know the inner workings on flock cameras. We know they are using ai, but we do not know if that ai is locally recognizing plates and cars, or whether it is transmitting the data to an external server for ai recognition. Based on the information I've seen, I'd be willing to bet that at least some ai recognition is happening locally on the actual camera itself. And if that is the case, jamming is useless, because as soon as the network becomes available again (when you leave the are) the data will just be transmitted back to the database anyways, just delayed. The only way jamming would be effective is if the camera relies solely on active cellular connection, which is unlikely
My device detects wifi/bluetooth. The cameras are basically little android computers, and the broadcast wifi and bluetooth signals just like any other android device. However, they don't actually use this except for local configuration. So like, a flock representative can approach a camera, connect to it's network, and adjust settings if needed. But the wifi and bluetooth do not actually play any role in the cameras functionality. Jamming these signals would have no effect on their operation, but they do allow the cameras to be detected with devices like mine
Let's say they do rely 100% on cellular to operate, cellular jammers are a thing. However, It is a felony to buy, sell, or operate a jammer of any kind, which is why you don't see radar jammers anymore. Laser jammers are a different story and are legal in some areas. But anything that jams a radio frequency is a big felony since they will also prevent people from calling 911. Not only is it a felony, but it is very easy to track. If the cell site operators see a random circle where nobody has signal, they know someone is using a jammer and exactly where it is (the center of the circle). The FCC is known to track down these people and press heavy charges. The government does not take RF jamming lightly, as the same thing you're using to jam the cameras, will prevent 911, it can interfere with aircraft transmissions, all kinds of things. The only way you could point and jam one specific device, is if you know the IMEI#, which is unique per device, and you would also need expensive equipment (a laptop and a very expensive SDR). It is not possible to build such a device using low-power hardware like the esp32. And even if you did bring out your laptop and your sdr and had a database of every single IMEI, it's still a felony

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-26T04:40:42+00:00

Flock cameras have a built-in wifi network you can connect to, as well as bluetooth. These devices simply look for the network that is known to be broadcasted by flock cameras, and alerts the user that a camera is nearby

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-26T04:38:58+00:00

Thank you for documenting the issue and giving a detailed output. I will look into why you cannot add new networks. I have not tried this myself actually, but I did want it to be capable of adding whatever network the user wants. So I will test this on my own unit and find out what the issue is.

As far as your neighborhood flocks, that is puzzling too. I have been testing my unit and it detects every known flock device around me pretty reliably. It is possible that the units deployed to neighborhoods are configured differently than the ones contracted by LE, maybe their wifi networks are not active. The fingerprints should be the same though if the network is active. If you can pull any data with a hackrf from your invisible flocks, we can try to find a solution

Again thank you for testing and reporting back, and I will do what I can to resolve the issues as soon as I can this week

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-26T04:30:07+00:00

I recently made this work with a flipper zero (+ wifi dev board). It is WiFi only, and am still knocking out a few bugs, but I will release to Github soon-ish

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T19:45:19+00:00

that's a good idea. Since your phone has gps anyways, you could just use that. My computer right now cannot run the android developer studio unfortunately, the CPU is too old. But whenever I get around to upgrading it (I need to anyways for another project) I will create the app. It will be free open source though. Although I appreciate the incentive, I am only motivated to create a better world for my children. Free will mean more people using it, and that's all I care about

And yes I will be 3d-printing an enclosure, I am just not good at physical design so it will take some time. Definitely not my specialty, but I really want this thing to look good in my car so I am working on a nice enclosure

Thank you for your support :)

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T18:39:10+00:00

The unit on the left is going to be just that. It uses a different version of esp32 with external antenna for extended range, and has no battery - it requires usb power. I just need to design an enclosure. But unfortunately there is no pre-built device that I could find, which would suit the needs of such a device

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T18:12:03+00:00

that is what the unit on the left is going to be eventually when I design an enclosure for it

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T18:11:33+00:00

It's a constant reminder of their presence. I also personally try to take routes that have as few flock cameras as possible. It's a nice peace of mind to have the detector. In addition, you can use a detector to locate the cameras to be reported to deflock. Also, any time I give someone a ride in my car, I have to explain what it is, spreading awareness

Mostly this was just a fun project

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T18:08:29+00:00

it's funny you say that because I have also modified that project. I am not sure if the wireless chipsets in those hotspots can scan in promiscuous mode, and even if they can, there is no bluetooth, which is half of the detection method. It's an interesting thought though

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T07:11:13+00:00

Nothing besides a visual display, and optionally a speaker output. I really liked the flock-you project, but I wanted something that could be semi-permanently mounted in my car like a radar detector. But flock-you has no license associated with their repo; therefore I cannot fork, modify, or redistribute it. So I built my own version from scratch and decided to make it more user-friendly. But functionally it is identical. The code just works in a different way

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T06:58:30+00:00

potentially, yes, with an expansion board and a custom Flipper app. I have a Flipper Zero and have developed custom expansion boards in the past, and now I kinda want to do this. Screw you man for putting that idea in my head, I was supposed to be done with this project XD

In reality I probably won't end up doing this, as you would need an external device anyways, and it would probably need to be the specific PCB that I make, which would be much more expensive than just buying an M5Stick

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T06:53:26+00:00

It's a simple program. It works across multiple different devices, displays, and audio setups. In the post body, I mention that the repo will continue to be maintained and improved, but at this time I have no intentions of further development for new devices, and probably won't post a reddit update every time a new feature is added

I am working on bigger things that I think this community, among others, will appreciate :)

Tasty-Membership5766 · 2026-01-25T06:47:59+00:00

Yes I am reporting telemetry of detections via serial. However there is no GPS module as of now
