Capture far more than just license plates. Allow your investigators to search footage by vehicle type, make, color, and other unique attributes; identify the state of a license plate; capture temporary plates, paper plates, and vehicles without plates. Our cameras also capture two (2) lanes of traffic traveling up to 100 MPH.

In April 2019, Marietta Police Department released a study that shows they experienced a 34% reduction in calls for service by targeting crime hot spots throughout the city with Flock Safety cameras.
Our solution captures 30% more plates than our leading competitor, according to a side-by-side study done by LASD in 2019, largely due to using AI and Machine Learning to analyze the entire vehicle profile instead of legacy Infrared based technology.
In October 2019, Cobb County Police Department released a study based on their installation of 13 Flock Safety cameras in March. Over the six-month period, Cobb police reported a 60% reduction in overall crime by focusing on the beat with the highest crime levels.
Police departments need a scalable solution to increase clearance rates and deter crime. Flock Safety’s cameras see like a detective to make actionable evidence available when needed that is easily searchable by vehicle type, make, model, unique features, color, time frame, or plate details. We deliver this detail through Machine Learning technology that scans each image for distinguishing features instead of traditional metal plates. This meanswe can also detect vehicles with no plates, temporary plates, dirty/covered plates, and evenget accurate state detection.
Flock Safety’s mission is to eliminate crime. This is possible with city-wide coverage of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) for public safety organizations and private citizens.When a crime occurs, Flock Safety cameras deliver the actionable evidence you need to make an arrest. Flock Safety camera systems live in over 1500 cities in 40 states and over 1000 police departments. With an average of 120 Hot List notifications sent an hour with jurisdictions throughout the U.S., our team is helping agencies solve and prevent crime every minute.

Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department performed a head-to-head test of the Flock Safety camera versus a legacy ALPR solution.
• The results showed that the Flock Safety camera captures 30%
more vehicle images and provides more accurate reads than traditional cameras triggered by infrared technology.
• Conducted in limited lighting from 2:00 AM to 8:00 AM, and
from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
• Causes for missed vehicles and/or misread plates were
associated with the amount of reflectivity of the plate (older/dirtier tags, and dealer provided paper plates).
