Ok, well you are not on camera, but your vehicle is. Based on numerous past requests for security cameras from the residents, the HOA and Advisory Board have actively pursued the acquisition of Flock Safety camera systems. Check out their website https://www.flocksafety.com/.
What does it do?
Flock Safety cameras capture vehicle images. Over 70% of crime occurs with a vehicle, so Flock Safety is able to capture vehicles traveling up to 75 MPH and up to 75 ft away – day and night.
Cameras are often installed at neighborhood entrances to capture images of all incoming vehicles. As they pass by the camera, it captures multiple still images of each automobile. These images do not stay on the local device for long at all.
Once images are captured, the camera almost immediately uploads them into their securely encrypted cloud server. This means that even if an individual device is tampered with or vandalized, there will be no footage on the actual camera.
Once in the secure cloud, Flock Safety’s proprietary machine learning process analyzes each image, leveraging what they call Vehicle Fingerprint technology. This technology uniquely identifies the vehicle type, make, and color, and reads and stores the license plate number.
Help Law Enforcement Fight Crime!
If a crime occurs, users can give police access to their footage to help pinpoint the exact vehicle involved.
While doorbell cameras and video security footage can give homeowners a timeframe for when a crime happened, police need explicit, undeniable evidence to improve what they call “solvability.”
Success Stories
Flock Safety has a success story page that helps display the different ways the system can be used to help prevent and solve crimes. Check it out at https://www.flocksafety.com/flock-safety-resources.

Sort of… law enforcement agencies that participate in the Flock Safety network can see that Brook Highland has cameras and where those cameras are located.
We do not currently openly share our cameras. However, those agencies can request access to our cameras through the Flock Safety network. When a request is made, temporary access can be provided to those agencies.
Sharing footage with local law enforcement can help prevent and solve crime. As more law enforcement agencies participate in Flock Safety’s network, access to our cameras can be shared with them.

The images are stored for 30 days. Images can be obtained/accessed by two ways:
Primary Access
- Tell the Law Enforcement Officer that your neighborhood has Flock Safety cameras, and asking the officer if their department has access to the Flock Safety network.
- The officer can request access to Brook Highland’s camera feed to perform the searches. The officer will make these access requests through their department’s Flock Safety network. A member of the Board of Directors will approve the access request temporarily.
The officer will need a succinct reason for the search and as much as the following information as possible (to help narrow their search results):
- License Plate Number
- License Plate State
- Body type of vehicle (SUV, Truck, etc.)
- Make of vehicle (Honda, BMW, etc.)
- Color of the vehicle
- Date and Time Range
Secondary Access
If the officer’s department does not have access to the Flock Safety network, then have the officer contact the Board of Directors for temporary access to the camera feed to perform searches. Contact the Board of Directors by emailing HOA@BrookHighland.org.

Thanks so much for installing these cameras! We’ve needed some layer of security in our neighborhood for a long time. This is more cost effective than security gates with attendants. Well done 👏👍
Thank you for installing the Flock Safety Camera’s.
