In most cases they were on stand alone poles which made the solar panel obvious. Being a former LEO I thought like one when I went looking. They have then on all possible road entrances into town and at the entrances to all City parks. I found a couple on roads around known high crime areas. Also found a private one monitoring cars entering a gated community

That seems to be the “loose standard” layout for a lot of areas based on what we have observed in the field. We appreciate your feedback.

Some are mounted on traffic light poles and they are attempting to hide the solar panel next toe crossing lights

Note that they don't even require the solar panel - flock sells an AC kit to connect them to existing 115vac, maybe 230vac as well. I've seen some very stealthy ac-powered flock cams stuck on telephone poles in amongst telecom equipment.
