FlockYou: Passive WiFi Awareness for ALPR Cameras #shorts
The short version: STS Technologies' FlockYou gadget promises passive WiFi detection of Flock ALPR cameras, turning counter-surveillance into a retail product worth watching critically.
Our Take
STS Technologies LLC's short clip introduces FlockYou, a pocket device marketed to sniff out wireless signatures tied to Flock Safety ALPR units. The pitch is simple: give drivers and researchers a passive heads-up that a camera's network gear is nearby, no cloud lookups or plate data involved. It's a sign of how mainstream the pushback against automated plate readers has become — people aren't just filing records requests anymore, they're building hardware.
We can't vouch for the device's accuracy or coverage since the video is a product teaser, not an independent test. Flock's camera deployments vary by firmware, mounting, and network setup, so a WiFi signature that works in one city may not generalize everywhere. Anyone buying tools like this should treat the readings as a starting point for verification, not gospel, and cross-check against documented locations.
That's exactly why crowdsourced mapping still matters more than any single gadget. Check our camera map to see what's already been logged in your area, and if you confirm a new unit — with or without a WiFi sniffer — contribute it. Pair that with our take-action guide if you want to push back on new installations through your city council.
