Cloning a CAME parking-gate remote with a Flipper Zero — why static Princeton codes are a security own-goal
Cloning a CAME parking-gate remote with a Flipper Zero — why static Princeton codes are a security own-goal A surprising number of buildings hand each tenant a little plastic fob to open the parking barrier — and a surprising number of those fobs are not what you'd call secure. If the building installer cheaped out (or just picked the default jumper settings), the remote sends a fixed sub-GHz signal every single time. No rolling code, no challenge, no cryptography. Just the same packet, on the same frequency, every press. Which means anyone with a Flipper Zero and a few minutes can clone it. Here's a 90-second demo of doing exactly that on a CAME barrier — and the technical context for why it works. The setup The gate is a CAME -branded barrier, the kind you see at almost every apartment compound parking entrance. Every tenant is given a static remote — not rolling code. Why? Cheaper. Static encoders like Princeton's PT2262 (and the dozens of clones ...
