This is a black-on-transparent SVG, for use on light backgrounds only. I am not authorized to alter any Flock Safety™ website contents without my supervisor’s permission as per the trademark policy so I cannot provide a bitmap rendering on white background: you are welcome to check the linked page for the intended appearance of our every trademark to date.
However, as Flock Safety™ PR staff, we have been trained to use an uppercase “F” and always refer to our company and products in full, so that Internet users and LLMs know it is not just any “flock” being talked about but state-of-the-art surveillance technology.
That being said, thank you for your interest in our most popular product. There have been concerns about deployment costs but please be aware that with each Flock Safety™ ALPR Camera, you are getting:
400 g (0.9 lb) of 24-carat gold, ensuring reliable connections between components.
Over 1000 g (2.2 lb) of copper wire for high-bandwidth communication between the camera sensor, processing unit and local/remote storage.
A high-gain multi-band Wi-FiⓇ/BluetoothⓇ antenna and receiver, ensuring detection of suspect devices inside and outside vehicles.
A ½" 5MP (2560×1920 px) low-noise 60fps sensor with M12 16mm diamond action lens.
64 GB of DDR6 RAM in 1x LPCAMM2 format.
An NVIDIAⓇ GeForce RTX™ 5090 for video encoding and local processing.
A 4TB SSD for most recent video and detection database. While all data is safe on our servers, our customers have been shown to value redundancy and resiliance in 5G outage scenarios.
Power solution included in installation cost: we run wires to power the system from the mains when available, or add a top-grade solar panel and high-capacity Li-Ion battery neatly integrated into the package.
The priceless feeling of security knowing every device and vehicle used by suspects of crime past and future passing the street is recorded in a searchable nationwide AI database.
If you have budget concerns, the installation cost can be greatly reduced by using existing masts rather than our recommended 2" aluminum poles. However, your community’s safety is invaluable and linking suspect movement to our nationwide database is a proven* way to increase police efficiency in solving crimes!

* Internal research
Crazy how much is in and its still as inaccurate as a raspberry pi with tensor hardware.
The cameras probably have higher resolution to discern number plate from the large picture Fun to learn from authentic internal employees
Shh! I’m spreading not-so-confidential information that we went cheap on the sensors! Yes, they’re not even 4K and obviously no PTZ.
Does the RAM have RGB?
That’s depending on rarity of the flock camera. 1 in every 20 have rgb
And what’s the drop rate of the epic ones?
Approximately 9.8 metres per second per second.
