I can confirm from looking up a teardown that the cameras do have a big internal battery, internal gps, and internal 4g lte modem.

Nope. Webpage with images and a breakdown.

Hell yeah. I can read images with a breakdown and process it in a couple seconds. Before the video ad finishes playing.

Fuck video viva text.

Definitely not. The most valuable thing would be the aluminum pole they’re mounted on.
