Cameras Are Too Easy To Steal: Here Is The Fix! NOT Clickbait

Falcam TagBatt for Sony NP-FZ100: https://SDP.io/TagBattSony Falcam TagBatt for Canon LP-E6: https://SDP.io/TagBattCanon I bought these with my own money. Falcam didn't sponsor this video. The Falcam TagBatt is a camera battery with Apple Find My built in, so a thief who steals your camera can't just spot an AirTag and toss it. I tested it with my own cameras to see how well the alerts and tracking actually work. It's a clever fix, but it also proves something: if a camera battery can hide Find My, a $6,000 camera could too. Cars got immobilizers. Phones got Activation Lock. Contractor tools from Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt and Hilti got PIN locks and tracking. Cameras got nothing, and thieves have noticed. I'll show you the anti-theft and data-security features camera makers could add, many of them in a free firmware update. 0:00 Intro 0:53 The Falcam TagBatt 2:18 Does Find My work? 2:59 Hidden AirTags 4:26 Limitations 5:29 Why don't cameras have this? 6:33 The excuses 9:13 Security is never 100% 12:06 Contractor tools already do it 13:40 Anti-theft for cameras 17:09 Anti-theft for lenses 18:38 Protect your photos 20:23 Tell them you want it Would you pay a little more for a camera with anti-theft built in?
