Flock cameras focus on capturing vehicle data rather than continuous video to protect privacy while aiding law enforcement.

Unlike conventional security cameras that record hours of footage including people and surroundings, Flock cameras are designed to capture only the vehicle as it passes a specific point. This targeted approach limits unnecessary data collection and reduces privacy concerns. The system captures images mainly to extract license plates and vehicle details. It also avoids recording personal information unrelated to vehicle identification. This design choice helps balance public safety with privacy, a key consideration in community acceptance and legal compliance.
