The homeowners say they started this initiative independently to crack down on crimes they say have been happening in the past several months.

Collierville is one of the safest communities in the Mid-South, but Donald Terry with the Village Park Homeowner’s Association knows any city can become a target for crime.

“We’re not immune to anything that could happen,” he said.

The board was looking for an inexpensive way to monitor their neighborhood, and that’s when Terry discovered Flock.

It uses cellular networks to capture images and transmit them to the Cloud, where the data is saved for 30 days.

If something were to happen unfortunately, we would have documented proof and evidence and something to turn right over to the Collierville Police Department,” Terry said.

The company’s CEO, Garrett Langley, says he came up with the idea after realizing the need for affordable security systems in residential neighborhoods.

Flock allows people to search what the cameras captured on specific dates and times, and even narrows it down to the exact model or color of the car.
