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.

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.
Did you know flock cameras have at least a kilo of meth in them?
I've heard that flock cameras contain the rest of the Epstein files
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

That's true but I like taking memes seriously and getting into internet discussions about them.
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.
I believe it might be the One Piece.
Or is it One....Drive? (This was funnier in my head)

2 gigs lp ddr3, if anyone was actually wondering

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.

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

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
Soldered to the board probably
Most definitely, that is faster and cheaper than using socketed ram.
It's some kind of SoC with DDR3 soldered to the board. It's a very old hardware design from 2017, so it uses cheap and old stuff.
The Flock Falcon Flex camera has a Snapdragon 625 with 2GB of LPDDR3. That's a SoC from 2016.
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

But does the Flock camera RAM have RGB?
Yes.
What kind of RAM, tho?
At this point it doesn't matter... They've got me at flock camera.
I mean it matters to me because would I be selling the RAM or putting it in my own machine? :P
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.
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 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
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.
Fam, those SSD's....
If only I was America, this distopia would quickly become a utopia.

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
In what world would a glorified license plate reader need 64 gigs of ram
if ram was cheap it would be a better (more durable) alternative to flash for when the network is down.
