I think a drone with a remotely-actuated spray can of black paint would be more fun. Come down from above so nothing is caught by the camera. Control it by a fiber link so that there’s no signal to identify the drone.
Funny you should ask, yeah, I was discussing this the other day with some fellow techies down the pub.
I would’ve guessed that wireless would be the way to go since a fiber cable is quite literally a physical trace to your position. Are drones that easily identified by their wireless signal?
So don’t do it from your house, go to a remote, unrelated location. By the time they get the video, analyze it, track back the signal, the camera is painted, and you’re long gone.
Of course there may be cameras near that remote, unrelated location, so be careful of anything identifying, like a vehicle or your face.

setting up 2 recievers to calculate the signal source position is significantly easier than tracing a cable as thick as spider’s web
