This is actually incorrect. The Flock Cameras actually have a special serial number inside of them. If you type it into Google, you have a 1% chance of winning $1M. It is called the Flock Lottery and it’s how they crowd source quality control.
I have decades of experience in camera and ALPR technology. I own a very successful security camera design company. My firm was one of the key contributors to the Flock camera design.
