angle over a lane or a driveway. It runs on solar power and\n a battery, with a cellular modem that sends each capture out over LTE. An independent hardware\n teardown of a Flock camera found a lithium ion battery pack and an LTE modem inside the housing\n <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-4\">[4]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n The unit is a fixed still camera, not a pan tilt zoom camera, and Flock frames its product around\n images and vehicle data, not a continuous video feed. Flock states its cameras carry no facial\n recognition and are built to read vehicle information, not a person’s face\n <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-7\">[7]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n Call it a still image camera, not a video camera, and note that Flock says the product does not\n perform facial recognition <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-7\">[7]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"fx-src-line\">\n Sources: <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-4\">[4]<\/a> <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-7\">[7]<\/a>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fx-panel\" data-step=\"2\">\n <p class=\"fx-panel__eyebrow\">Step 2 of 8<\/p>\n <h2>A vehicle passes: the capture<\/h2>\n <p>\n Every vehicle that crosses the camera’s field of view is captured. A vehicle does not need to be on\n a hot list first. The camera records a still image at that moment, along with a timestamp and the\n camera’s location.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n Flock’s own materials describe the product around images and metadata, not a continuous video\n stream. The example card shows the kind of fields attached to one capture; the values shown are\n illustrative, not a real vehicle.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n Every passing plate is captured.

Plates can be misread, stolen, obscured, temporary,\n altered, or mounted on a car someone else is driving at the time. The toggle below shows what a\n harder read looks like next to a clean one.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n Do not treat a license plate reading as certain if the system is not confident.

Flock says footage and\n metadata are encrypted through the entire lifecycle, from the device to the cloud, using Amazon Web\n Services storage and KMS-based encryption, and that CJIS-relevant data stays inside AWS GovCloud,\n limited to law-enforcement customers <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n The customer, not Flock, is the party that sets access and sharing rules. A city, a county, an HOA,\n a school or a business can each be the customer on a given camera, and each can set its own rules\n for who sees the data and who it is shared with <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n Ask who the customer is on this specific camera before writing “Flock’s data.” A private owner\n sets different rules than a police department.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"fx-src-line\">Sources: <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fx-panel\" data-step=\"5\">\n <p class=\"fx-panel__eyebrow\">Step 5 of 8<\/p>\n <h2>How long the photo lasts<\/h2>\n <p>\n Flock’s default is now 7 days from the date of capture.

Flock calls those extra vehicle details “Vehicle Fingerprint” attributes\n <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-6\">[6]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n A hot-list alert is only a possible lead. It does not automatically prove that a vehicle is\n connected to a crime or give an officer legal grounds to take action. Flock says officers should\n confirm that the vehicle truly matches before acting on an alert.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n If an agency says it “searched Flock,” ask who ran the search, for which agency, with what case\n number or reason, and how many camera networks it reached.

license-plate-reader product as capturing still images of vehicles as they pass the camera, along with related metadata. It does not describe the standard LPR product as a continuous video-recording system <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Can a Flock camera identify a face?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>Flock states that its LPR cameras do not use facial recognition or collect biometric information <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-7\">[7]<\/a>. The system reads license plates and classifies visible vehicle characteristics, including color, make, body type, and other exterior features <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-6\">[6]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>A captured image may contain people incidentally, depending on the camera’s position. The product’s stated search function concerns the vehicle rather than facial identification.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Who can search Flock data in Texas?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>The customer that operates or funds the cameras controls access. A police department can authorize particular users under its own policy. A private owner, such as a homeowners association or business, can control access and choose whether to share records with police for a particular investigation or through an ongoing arrangement.<\/p>\n <p>Texas DPS operates a separate statewide ALPR network. Texas Tribune reporting stated that the agency restricted access to agencies with a signed agreement, totaling 206 Texas agencies as of July 2026 <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-9\">[9]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">How long does Flock retain data?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>Flock’s stated default retention period in 2026 is 7 days from the date of capture <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-1\">[1]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a>. The owner’s contract or policy may require another retention period. Older contracts may retain records for 30 days. Dallas police reportedly retain Flock records for 365 days under their own agreement <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-10\">[10]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>Flock’s Evidence Mode can preserve specified records in cold storage for an active investigation <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-1\">[1]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a>. A preservation request should identify the camera location, date, time range, vehicle description, and reason the record may be relevant.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Can a crash victim request Flock records?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>A request should go to the agency or private entity that controls the camera, rather than Flock. Flock hosts the platform, while the customer controls access and disclosure decisions <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>A written preservation request should identify the crash date, approximate time, location, travel direction, vehicle description, license plate if known, police report number, and the reason the images may relate to the crash. The owner’s retention policy determines how long records remain available <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-1\">[1]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Does a plate read prove who caused a crash?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>No. A plate read can connect a vehicle to a location and time. It does not identify the driver at that moment or establish fault for a collision.<\/p>\n <p>Investigators should compare the plate record with crash reports, witness statements, vehicle damage, surveillance footage, phone records where lawfully available, and other evidence. License plates can be misread, stolen, obscured, altered, temporary, or attached to a vehicle driven by someone other than the registered owner.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n <section id=\"embed\" aria-labelledby=\"embed-h2\" class=\"fx-section fx-section--2\">\n <div class=\"fx-wrap\">\n <div class=\"fx-head\">\n <p class=\"fx-eyebrow\">For your site<\/p>\n <h2 class=\"fx-h2\" id=\"embed-h2\">Embed this walkthrough<\/h2>\n <p>\n Choose the whole walkthrough or one step, then paste the generated snippet on another page.

angle over a lane or a driveway. It runs on solar power and\n a battery, with a cellular modem that sends each capture out over LTE. An independent hardware\n teardown of a Flock camera found a lithium ion battery pack and an LTE modem inside the housing\n <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-4\">[4]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n The unit is a fixed still camera, not a pan tilt zoom camera, and Flock frames its product around\n images and vehicle data, not a continuous video feed. Flock states its cameras carry no facial\n recognition and are built to read vehicle information, not a person’s face\n <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-7\">[7]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n Call it a still image camera, not a video camera, and note that Flock says the product does not\n perform facial recognition <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-7\">[7]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"fx-src-line\">\n Sources: <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-4\">[4]<\/a> <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-7\">[7]<\/a>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fx-panel\" data-step=\"2\">\n <p class=\"fx-panel__eyebrow\">Step 2 of 8<\/p>\n <h2>A vehicle passes: the capture<\/h2>\n <p>\n Every vehicle that crosses the camera’s field of view is captured. A vehicle does not need to be on\n a hot list first. The camera records a still image at that moment, along with a timestamp and the\n camera’s location.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n Flock’s own materials describe the product around images and metadata, not a continuous video\n stream. The example card shows the kind of fields attached to one capture; the values shown are\n illustrative, not a real vehicle.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n Every passing plate is captured. A capture is not the same claim as a search or a match; those\n come later in this walkthrough.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fx-panel\" data-step=\"3\">\n <p class=\"fx-panel__eyebrow\">Step 3 of 8<\/p>\n <h2>Detection: reading the plate and the vehicle<\/h2>\n <p>\n A gold box draws around the plate and the system resolves the characters against Flock’s database.\n The platform classifies the vehicle itself: colour, make, model or body type, and visible features,\n what Flock calls Vehicle Fingerprint technology <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-6\">[6]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n A probabilistic read is a lead, not proof. Plates can be misread, stolen, obscured, temporary,\n altered, or mounted on a car someone else is driving at the time. The toggle below shows what a\n harder read looks like next to a clean one.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n Do not treat a license plate reading as certain if the system is not confident.

Flock says footage and\n metadata are encrypted through the entire lifecycle, from the device to the cloud, using Amazon Web\n Services storage and KMS-based encryption, and that CJIS-relevant data stays inside AWS GovCloud,\n limited to law-enforcement customers <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n The customer, not Flock, is the party that sets access and sharing rules. A city, a county, an HOA,\n a school or a business can each be the customer on a given camera, and each can set its own rules\n for who sees the data and who it is shared with <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n Ask who the customer is on this specific camera before writing “Flock’s data.” A private owner\n sets different rules than a police department.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"fx-src-line\">Sources: <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fx-panel\" data-step=\"5\">\n <p class=\"fx-panel__eyebrow\">Step 5 of 8<\/p>\n <h2>How long the photo lasts<\/h2>\n <p>\n Flock’s default is now 7 days from the date of capture. Before an August 2026 policy update, the\n default was 30 days, and data is described as hard deleted from the cloud once the window closes\n <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-1\">[1]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n Existing customers can keep a longer period they already had approved, and Evidence Mode lets a\n detective preserve specific records in cold storage for an active investigation, offered free to\n agencies on the new default; extended retention beyond that needs approval from an elected official\n <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-1\">[1]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n To find the actual data-retention period, check the agency’s contract or its public transparency\n website.

Flock calls those extra vehicle details “Vehicle Fingerprint” attributes\n <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-6\">[6]<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <p>\n A hot-list alert is only a possible lead. It does not automatically prove that a vehicle is\n connected to a crime or give an officer legal grounds to take action. Flock says officers should\n confirm that the vehicle truly matches before acting on an alert.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"fx-callout\">\n <b>Get it right<\/b>\n <p>\n If an agency says it “searched Flock,” ask who ran the search, for which agency, with what case\n number or reason, and how many camera networks it reached.

<div class=\"fx-wrap\">\n <div class=\"fx-head\">\n <p class=\"fx-eyebrow\">Questions<\/p>\n <h2 class=\"fx-h2\" id=\"faq-h2\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fx-faq\">\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Does a Flock camera record video?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>Flock describes its license-plate-reader product as capturing still images of vehicles as they pass the camera, along with related metadata. It does not describe the standard LPR product as a continuous video-recording system <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Can a Flock camera identify a face?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>Flock states that its LPR cameras do not use facial recognition or collect biometric information <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-7\">[7]<\/a>. The system reads license plates and classifies visible vehicle characteristics, including color, make, body type, and other exterior features <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-6\">[6]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>A captured image may contain people incidentally, depending on the camera’s position. The product’s stated search function concerns the vehicle rather than facial identification.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Who can search Flock data in Texas?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>The customer that operates or funds the cameras controls access. A police department can authorize particular users under its own policy. A private owner, such as a homeowners association or business, can control access and choose whether to share records with police for a particular investigation or through an ongoing arrangement.<\/p>\n <p>Texas DPS operates a separate statewide ALPR network. Texas Tribune reporting stated that the agency restricted access to agencies with a signed agreement, totaling 206 Texas agencies as of July 2026 <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-9\">[9]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">How long does Flock retain data?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>Flock’s stated default retention period in 2026 is 7 days from the date of capture <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-1\">[1]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a>. The owner’s contract or policy may require another retention period. Older contracts may retain records for 30 days. Dallas police reportedly retain Flock records for 365 days under their own agreement <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-10\">[10]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>Flock’s Evidence Mode can preserve specified records in cold storage for an active investigation <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-1\">[1]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a>. A preservation request should identify the camera location, date, time range, vehicle description, and reason the record may be relevant.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Can a crash victim request Flock records?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>A request should go to the agency or private entity that controls the camera, rather than Flock. Flock hosts the platform, while the customer controls access and disclosure decisions <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-5\">[5]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>A written preservation request should identify the crash date, approximate time, location, travel direction, vehicle description, license plate if known, police report number, and the reason the images may relate to the crash. The owner’s retention policy determines how long records remain available <a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-1\">[1]<\/a><a class=\"fx-fn\" href=\"#src-2\">[2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"fx-faq__item\">\n <summary class=\"fx-faq__q\">Does a plate read prove who caused a crash?<span class=\"fx-faq__ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n <div class=\"fx-faq__a\">\n <p>No. A plate read can connect a vehicle to a location and time. It does not identify the driver at that moment or establish fault for a collision.<\/p>\n <p>Investigators should compare the plate record with crash reports, witness statements, vehicle damage, surveillance footage, phone records where lawfully available, and other evidence. License plates can be misread, stolen, obscured, altered, temporary, or attached to a vehicle driven by someone other than the registered owner.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n <section id=\"embed\" aria-labelledby=\"embed-h2\" class=\"fx-section fx-section--2\">\n <div class=\"fx-wrap\">\n <div class=\"fx-head\">\n <p class=\"fx-eyebrow\">For your site<\/p>\n <h2 class=\"fx-h2\" id=\"embed-h2\">Embed this walkthrough<\/h2>\n <p>\n Choose the whole walkthrough or one step, then paste the generated snippet on another page.
