SYS.01Detection hardware // mesh networking // surveillance awareness
ESP32-S3 multi-mode surveillance-detection board with integrated buzzer, an onboard sticker antenna (swap in your own if you want more range), and some sick PCB art. Ships loaded with OUI-SPY Unified Blue — one flash, four passive detection modes from a WiFi boot menu at 192.168.4.1, plus raw Wi-Fi/BLE capture modes on the dev branch. Detection-only.
ESP32-S3 dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor-based drone Remote ID detection system with 5-15km range, real-time web mapping interface, and Meshtastic mesh networking. Detects FAA Remote ID transmissions via WiFi/Bluetooth, provides live drone tracking with pilot location data, and integrates with distributed mesh networks for comprehensive airspace monitoring.

The Wall Street Journal covers the growing nationwide pushback against Flock's license-plate cameras. Colonel Panic is quoted from a Nerd Nite talk in Asheville describing Flock cameras and governments “perfecting the art of watching you” — the talk WSJ credits with kicking off the Asheville City Council's move against the program.
Cybertiger, Colonel Panic, and The Wrew take the DEF CON 34 main stage to walk through using the ESP32 as a counter-surveillance platform — the same architecture the OUI-SPY hardware is built on.
Comprehensive project documentation featuring dual-core ESP32 drone Remote ID detection, real-time web mapping, Meshtastic mesh alerts, FAA database integration, and custom PCB design with 2,595 views and full build instructions.
CNX Software covers our mesh-detect v2 project, highlighting its capabilities for mapping Remote ID-enabled drones using ESP32-C3/S3 and Meshtastic LoRa modules for distributed detection networks with 5-15km range.
Hackaday covers the "Flock You" project built on Colonel Panic's OUI-SPY device, showcasing ESP32-based surveillance camera detection using Wi-Fi probe requests, beacon frames, and Bluetooth advertisements to identify Flock Safety cameras and other surveillance systems.
