Collierville cameras scanning license plates to prevent crime
COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. — New technology being used in some Mid-South neighborhoods could help police solve more crimes.
Flock is a wireless, solar-powered security system that can take pictures of cars and even read license plates.
“It’s a great thing and a very low-cost thing that a neighborhood can also provide as a comfort and a knowing to its residences,” Terry said.
But he says it’s still a good idea to use your own home security systems and cameras.
“I still always recommend to neighbors or anybody, have camera on your property. I have camera on my property,” he said.
Residents who are worried about their privacy can opt out so images of their car are automatically removed from the system.
Two Flock cameras are set to be installed in the Village Park neighborhood, less than five miles away, Monday.
