In the event of property crime, law enforcement often don’t have enough evidence to solve the case.

What about doorbell cameras? Yeah, they may capture a blurry photo and let you know when a crime occurred. But this isn’t evidence that police can use. They need an actionable, objective lead.

Flock Safety security cameras record the license plate of every vehicle that drives into your neighborhood, day or night. If something happens, you can give police the number one piece of evidence they need to solve crime — the license plate.

Here are the five big reasons HOA board leaders are buying Flock Safety license plate reading cameras.

1. License plates provide an objective lead

Facial recognition technology doesn’t stop crime. License plate footage does. Recording a suspect’s face is unreliable and potentially biased. Capturing license plates gives police the number one piece of evidence they need solve the case.

2. Instant search

Don’t waste time scrolling through hours of footage. Find the evidence instantly.

Search by:

• time of day
• partial/full license plate
• vehicle type
• vehicle color

For example, find and ID all “red cars” within a specific time frame. Download the footage with a few taps onto your phone or computer.

3. Police recommend it

Detectives and officers get thousands of calls for service every year. They can’t chase after every incident. Police need a lead with high chance of solvability.

“With Flock’s system, we were able to successfully solve an incident that in any other situation would have been a cold case.” – Detective N. Yimer, Dekalb County Police

4. Protect your privacy

You own all the footage. Not police, and not Flock Safety. No one is actively monitoring the cameras. And you decide who has access — a trusted neighbor, the HOA board, or local police.

Most security camera companies keep your data indefinitely, and share or sell your data to third parties. Not us. Your footage is securely stored in the cloud and automatically deleted after 30 days, minimizing data liability.

5. It’s affordable

We take care of all hardware and software upgrades, maintenance, and replacement of units – all included with the cost of the camera. Price is no longer an excuse.
