Jon Alion, HOA Board Member for the Knightsbridge subdivision in Fort Mill, SC, advocated for his neighbourhood to install security cameras that read licence plates throughout the community.

Crime seems to be happening a little more often in our neighbourhood and in other neighbourhoods,” Jon said.

Why choose Flock Safety?

Flock outdoor security system captures licence plate even at night, uses solar power and comes with automatic upgrades Jon started doing some research on neighbourhood security options and found that most were technologically outdated, ineffective, and too expensive. Then, learned about the Flock outdoor security system which captures every licence plate even at night, uses solar power to reduce infrastructure costs, and comes with automatic upgrades – meaning, the neighbourhood would always have both the latest hardware and software. Best of all, it was the most affordable option on the market.

The real goal is for us to be proactive, have a safe community where we all work together, and to keep crime out of our neighbourhood,” Jon said.

Flock Safety saves a local canine

A few months after the camera was in place, a neighbour experienced the terrifying case of a stolen dog. Thanks to the licence plate reader footage and the Google-like search interface, the Knightsbridge community was able to identify the vehicle used in the dognapping and recover the animal, returning it to its family – as seen in a local news outlet.

Flock cameras have already been successful,” Jon said.

The neighbourhood recently installed a second camera to cover another part of the community.
