Possible Stolen Red Camera. Help Needed.

[Brent J. Craig]

I'm updating my prior posts, but officially.... Camera number 91 is the one that is missing.

There... that only took 25 days! :huh:

We'll start looking now.

 

[Eric MacIver]

Tell me about it. That won't happen again.

 

[A. Bastaki]

dude that sucks!!

hope you find ure camera back... whats the number again?

I wonder if Red could specifically poison Red #91. It seems the next build could contain special code to detect #91 and temporarily kill it (message on screen that this unit is reported stolen). If the internal code has access to what serial number it is, this code enhancement to build 13 or 14 would be very easy.

 

[Nathan Garofalos]

But that only works if the person who stole it uploads the new firmware.

And if they don't, they'll be stuck with a permanently antiquated camera.

Good point.

Sehr lustig!! Viel spass!!

That would be a great option for disabling stolen cameras... And a great deterrent. At very least I'm hoping that upgrades to the firmware will, in the future, only apply to the newer models of the camera, rendering that one obsolete.

 

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

And it will most likely be the only non-X camera with a <100 serial number.
Should stick out a bit, I´d say.

If possible, that would be incredible. Great suggestion Shawn. Maybe firmware updates should only be made available to official RED owners. Additional theft deterrent. :shiftyph34r:

or special self fingure print :nuke: Detonation Mechanism

 

[Nathan Buxton]

Too bad red didn't pack every camera with a half pound of c4 and an intercontinental satellite detonator!! Then they could just push the BIG RED BUTTON and blow that fucker up.
