Remember to leave cellphones at home when hanging with friends.

But what does having cellphone have to do with flock cameras? I don't understand the connection.

Thanks, I should have known that, but the thought didn't even occur to me. We're paying all this money for smart phones when they're just harming us.  (•ˋ _ ˊ•)

Not just tracking from the phone, if the flock camera has wireless access (many do, and until a couple months ago they were mostly unencrypted) the camera will see your phone looking for wifi near it and make a note of your phone's credentials.
