A crime occurred in one of Flock Safety’s neighbourhoods in Atlanta. One of the residents had her back door kicked in by two individuals. Her home security system was triggered but the culprits still had enough time to steal a drawer filled with jewellery.
The resident filed a report with the police, then informed her neighbourhood’s Security Chair of the incident. Another neighbour’s doorbell camera provided a long-distance photo of the victim’s home in the correct time frame – where they were able to spot a suspicious red van parked outside.
Result

This information was added to the police’s evidence and crime report – and assisted in an arrest.
Feedback
“Without Flock Safety’s cameras, I would not have been able to assist the homeowner so quickly. Flock gives our community real-time access to footage within our neighbourhood to help solve crimes like this home invasion and theft. Also, Flock Safety iterates continually on their camera technology to make it better and better.” -Jake, Neighbourhood Security Chair
