I'd agree with that.

If anybody has any tips on how to destroy CCTV cameras, please send them
my way. I'd like to post the information on my website.

Well since CCDs  are solid state electronic devices and are intimately
connected with ICs, a good solid microwave pulse ought to knock them out
, at least temporarily.

It is not unreasonably difficult to build such a directional  microwave transmitter, there is plenty of info about it on the web, but it would not be a very easily concealed piece of apparatus I can tell you. You'd do well to get an understanding of a fair amount of EM theory and safety beforehand to. Don't cook yourself!
