I imagine this would capture meteor flares only in areas with minimal lighting. In urban (and surrounding) areas, the light pollution would render human (and I imagine, digital) eyes blind to the celestial tapestry.

Are there cameras that can filter the light pollution out?

There are filters[0] you can add to lenses that will filter out certain types of lights. While it will never replace finding an actual dark sky location, it will slightly improve what can be imaged.

If there aren't any bright objects in the direct field of view it should be possible to see flashes in the sky on a clear night.

Could possibly capture the ultra red (heat) range that are usually filtered out by normal cameras.
