Safety Cameras

About Flock Safety Cameras


Prevent Crime with Flock License Plate Reader Cameras
​

​
At Flock Safety, we pride ourselves in our ability to help solve neighborhood crime. In just the last few months, we have provided evidence in more than 10 investigations and have aided in the arrest of two criminals. While solving crime is our main objective, we ultimately want our devices — our signature license plate reader — to prevent crime in the neighborhoods we protect.
 
Several months ago, we installed Flock license plate reader cameras and signage in a suburb of Atlanta.  This neighborhood was eager for our technology because there had been several concerning incidents. The criminal activity came to a head with more than 10 break-ins in a two-month period.
 
“When the number of car thefts & break-ins reached an all time high in our community, we knew that additional security measures needed to be taken. We installed Flock Safety cameras at both of our neighborhood entrances – since then, we have not had a single incident.”  -Blake, Neighbor
 
Immediately after Flock installed cameras in the neighborhood, the number of incidents dropped to zero.
Together our cameras, which work to solve crime, and our signage, which help deter crime, can make your neighborhood a safer place.

Your safety doesn’t need to stop at your front door.Flock Safety helps HOAs, Neighborhood Associations, and law enforcement work together to capture the objective evidence needed to reduce crime rates, improve neighborhood security, and protect home values.

 
24/7 Neighborhood Protection 

Maximize neighborhood security with Flock Safety's License Plate Reading Cameras. License plate reading cameras work because roughly 70% of all crime is committed with a vehicle. So whether it’s vandalism, theft, or other suspicious activity, Flock Safety’s technology quickly and objectively identifies a suspect’s vehicle. 
 
If a crime does occur, Flock can automatically alert local law enforcement. 
 
 
 How do license plate readers help solve crime?
 
Seven out of every 10 crimes are committed with a vehicle. License plate numbers give law enforcement the objective, actionable leads needed to solve the investigation. Using LPR cameras, detectives can pinpoint the suspect’s last known location which narrows down the search radius. 

Flock Safety LPR cameras go beyond capturing license plates. Unlike traditional license plate readers, the unique  Vehicle Fingerprint™  technology accelerates investigations by allowing users to filter their search based on the vehicle’s specific characteristics, including body type, make, color, and more. This is key in producing an investigative lead for law enforcement when a suspect vehicle has no visible plates.
 
 
 My neighborhood has Flock cameras. Can I mark my car as a “resident” in the system?
 
 Yes, Flock has several features only in place for residential customers. One measure is the Flock Safety HOA Safe List.
 
The Flock Safety Safe List is a feature available only to neighborhood customers – like HOAs and neighborhood associations – at no additional cost. The Safe List feature is not available to Law Enforcement or other Flock customers outside of residential communities. 
 
Furthermore, a vehicle being placed on a residential Safe List in their community does not preclude that same vehicle from being detected and cataloged on other Flock Safety cameras in the network, once leaving their residential community. 
 
The Safe List allows neighborhood residents to self-register their vehicle license plates in their neighborhood’s Flock Safety system, allowing footage of a resident’s vehicle to be marked as “resident.” By self-registering as a resident, you have the ability to opt-out and have any footage of your vehicle automatically deleted. This removes the vehicle from footage and keeps it out of the search.
 
If you are already a Flock Safety customer and want to learn more about the Safe List, contact support@flocksafety.com for more details.

 
 Is the footage securely stored?
 
All data is securely stored with AES256 encryption with our cloud provider, Amazon Web Services.
The footage is only stored temporarily on device until it has been uploaded to the AWS cloud, at which point it is removed from the local device.
Read more about how we store and secure data here: How Flock Safety Works to Eliminate Neighborhood Crime While Maintaining and Protecting Resident Privacy.

 
How does Flock Safety protect citizen privacy?

Flock Safety has strict measures in place to protect resident privacy.
Flock Safety believes that we can successfully reduce crime while protecting and preserving privacy. Here are a few of the ways we have ethically-engineered our suite of products to ensure privacy protection:

  • We store all data for only 30 days (or in adherence with local laws). Customers own all of their data — Flock will never share or sell data with third parties. The customer is the only one to determine who has access to the footage.
  • The  Safe List feature  allows neighborhood residents to register their license plate number and opt to be eliminated from captured footage. This way, police can easily separate residents from non-residents and allow residents with privacy concerns to opt out of the system altogether.
  • All data is stored in the cloud through Amazon Web Services (AWS) using AES256 bit encryption, a standard encryption system used by both the Federal Government and the National Security Agency.

 
 Who has access to Flock footage?
 
Flock customers own their own data.
The neighborhood, business, or community determines who has access to footage. That often means an HOA board member, trusted neighbor, or property management company is the designated contact in the event of a crime, but it’s 100% your call. Flock will not share, sell, or access your data.
We do have the ability to grant a specific individual access for a short period of time, so in the event of a crime, the victim can be given access to Flock footage for 24 hours should that be requested.

 
 How do I access the footage search?
 
Simply visit the Flock Safety dashboard to access footage.
All customers should have a username and password to access the Flock Safety dashboard at admin.flocksafety.com  .
If you do not have your login details, please contact support@flocksafety.com

 
 How do I set up the Safe List for my neighborhood?
 
 The Flock Safety Safe List allows residents to add their own vehicle details to the system.
To set up the Safe List, we recommend communities and neighborhoods send out an email to all residents. This helps educate everyone and gets the highest amount of participation.
 
 To access the sign-up link, log-in to  admin.flocksafety.com  , then click “Safe List” located in the navigation bar at the top of your screen. Once on the page, copy the hyperlink listed after “Safe List Signup Link” at the top of the page.
Once the Safe List is enabled, neighbors who enter their details will be marked as a “resident”, so if a crime occurs you can quickly filter out community members. 
 
Residents can also opt-out of having their vehicle captured on the footage altogether.
​

 
Who monitors the camera footage?
 
Nobody from Flock Safety is accessing or monitoring your footage.
You, the customer, decide who can access your footage. Whether it’s a trusted neighbor, the HOA board members, or your Property Manager, it’s entirely up to you.
In the event of a crime, customers can choose to provide access to local police to help gather the evidence needed. Customers can also choose to engage in an ongoing relationship with their local law enforcement to grant them access to Flock Safety footage automatically. This helps police get real-time alerts should a suspect pass through your neighborhood, increasing their capability to solve crimes like  AMBER Alerts.
Flock Safety does not access or monitor your footage without explicit request of the customer. Our team does have software in place to measure camera performance and image capture quality. This is used to preemptively diagnose issues and schedule maintenance service calls.
