Here is what the page “Flock Safety Pricing Revealed: What Cities Pay for Surveillance Tech” contains. A WIRED investigation into contracts from over two dozen US cities and towns reveals how much Flock Safety charges for its automated license plate recognition cameras and related services. The analysis shows that Flock's pricing model often includes recurring fees, installation costs, and multi-year agreements, making the total cost of ownership significantly higher than the initial hardware price. For example, some municipalities pay over $3,000 per camera annually, with additional charges for video storage, software, and support.
Compared to competitors like Motorola Solutions' Vigilant and Rekor, Flock's pricing can be competitive but varies widely depending on contract terms and volume discounts. The findings matter because law enforcement agencies increasingly rely on Flock's network to track vehicles across jurisdictions, raising privacy and civil liberties concerns. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
