    You would need full coverage for that to work on its own, because as soon as you leave its range there’s ambiguity again about who the person being sensed is. Just disabling the camera probably would help in places where they aren’t dense enough for that.

      You’re kind of combining 2 different things. Wifi sensing can be done with any wifi radio, not just the ones in flock cameras. Lack of coverage isn’t really an issue given the proliferation of wifi networks.

      I mentioned flock license plate readers to illustrate an exterior tool that can be cross referenced to verify an ambiguous identity; in line with them using your residence as a reference point. Other options include payment card usage, cell phone tower connections, or good ole visual ID (from a person).

        Proliferation of wifi routers does not necessarily mean there is a convenient central repository of their data, but I do see the risk
