Flock insists its cameras do not perform face recognition. WIRED and 404 Media found no evidence of any face-recognition capabilities in the camera’s software beyond ones included by default in the Android operating system. Those capabilities did not appear to be enabled or in active use.
No, the servers the images are sent to do. Weasel words.
Reminds me of that time our product caught fire because of a damaged battery, and the suits bullied the in-house regulator for an hour until he officially recorded it as not using the word “fire”
So it was an unplanned rapid oxidation event then was it?
Ah, a thermal event. The company I work for had a similar policy, but we’re now free to say the f-word again.
Water is wet, and cigarettes cause lung cancer, just in case anyone didn’t already know Flock cameras are absolute bullshit.
I live in rural Nevada and they just installed 2 flock cameras here in my town of less than 4k people. Pretty much everyone is so happy about it saying it will help with all the crime here.
I’d demand a list of all the crime and a list of all the “helped with crime” to start being kept.
I’m tired of such claims never being followed up on. We need some sort of Flock cameras for that meta-problem.
