- teraflop 8y agoWatch the video. The phones are hidden, and the fart spray is designed to make the thief get rid of the package as quickly as possible rather than taking it apart to see what might be inside.
- mcv 8y agoEven so, wouldn't it be better to use 4 cheap cameras instead of 4 expensive smartphones?
- dpark 8y agoProbably not. Likely these were second-hand phones, so not terribly expensive. Also because they are phones, they can upload "to the cloud" automatically, have GPS and cell tower triangulation for accurate location reporting.
- bsamuels 8y ago4 cheap cameras wont have lte radios seriously, pick up x4 $30 prepaid phones from walmart and they'll do the job perfectly
- miccah 8y agoIf you knew they were there. The creator obscures everything except the cameras' lenses.
- izzydata 8y agoI don't think money was the concern here. The guy seems pretty well off.
- Adisuki 8y agoLeft his job at NASA to start a company, sell it, and work on viral content for many companies. He's pretty much rich at this point.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoNot iPhones; cheaper Androids are fine for this.
- vxNsr 8y agoThose were like $300 androids.
- pgrote 8y agoThey were LG phones, you can see the logo in the video. He mentions a wide lens and I think that started with the LG V30. $249 on ebay, so that is close.
