Flock Exposed - Product and System Name Catalog
Flock Safety markets a wide and constantly growing family of product names. This page defines each one in plain language, sourced, so readers can follow along when a news story, a town council presentation, or a contract mentions a specific Flock product by name.
Hardware and Cameras
Falcon, Falcon Flex, and Falcon LR are Flock's core license plate reader camera line, the original hardware product the company was built on.

Sparrow and Wing are additional camera and software-integration products; Wing is a software-only product that feeds existing third-party security cameras into FlockOS rather than being its own camera.

Condor is Flock's pan-tilt-zoom live and recorded video camera line, sold as a cloud subscription that includes hardware, permitting, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Condor cameras can automatically zoom in on cars, people, faces, phone screens, and other objects nearby.

Raven is Flock's audio gunshot-detection device, launched in 2021 and also marketed as "Audio Detection" or "Gunshot Detection." It records audio in short increments and uses artificial intelligence to analyze the sound clips for audible gunfire; when a gunshot is detected, the device estimates its location and alerts police.

In October 2025 Flock added "human distress" detection to Raven, initially advertised with a screenshot of a police alert for "screaming." After criticism from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the ad copy was quietly changed from "screaming" to "distress," though the underlying capability remains. Flock claims Raven holds no more than 50 seconds of rolling audio at a time.

Aerodome/Alpha refers to Flock's docked drone product line, marketed as "Drone as First Responder" (DFR) and "Drone as Automated Security." A drone can be deployed automatically to the coordinates of a 911 call, an LPR hit, or a Raven alert, reading license plates from up to 2,000 feet away and streaming HD, thermal, and night-vision video.

Mobile Security Trailers are solar-powered, LTE-connected trailers equipped with PTZ cameras, a talk-down speaker, and AI-powered video analytics, deployable to a site without trenching, wiring, or permanent installation. A feature called "Guardian Mode" lets the trailer automatically detect and track individuals and vehicles and capture detailed images around the clock, even with no physical camera operator present.

Software and Data Platforms
FlockOS is the umbrella software platform: it seamlessly integrates first and third-party data across video, LPR, drones, CAD, RMS, 911, gunshot detection, and sensors into a single platform to deliver real-time intelligence and retroactive crime-solving. It is marketed as a "Real-Time Crime Center Platform."

OS Investigate (formerly known internally as Nightshift) is an AI-powered investigative tool living inside FlockOS. It was reconstructed by WIRED reporters from over 450 exposed files and uses dozens of AI functions and prewritten prompts to identify people from location, time, and behavior patterns alone, without requiring a name, plate, or crime to start. See the separate OS Investigate page on this site for full detail.

Nova is a "public safety data platform" Flock was developing as of May 2025, which supplements ALPR data with information from public records and commercially available data in order to track specific individuals without a warrant. It was already in use by law enforcement in an early access program as of that date. The Electronic Frontier Foundation described Flock Nova as a "dystopian panopticon." After reporting from 404 Media, the company decided not to include information from data breaches in Nova.

FreeForm is a natural-language search tool that lets users search existing video and LPR systems using plain-language queries instead of structured search fields, to quickly find relevant footage.

Flock911 streams live 911 call audio and real-time transcripts to real-time crime centers, patrol officers, and drone pilots, and connects bordering agencies so responders can act sooner with fuller context before arriving on scene.

Live Video on LPR Cameras is a software update, announced for rollout in late 2025, that lets all existing Flock license plate reader cameras stream live video and capture video clips in addition to plate reads, at no additional hardware cost.

Vehicle Fingerprint is Flock's term for the set of vehicle characteristics its cameras capture beyond the license plate itself, such as make, color, and identifying features, used to search for vehicles even without a known plate number.

Questions to Ask Your Town
Which of these specific named products and features - not just "Flock cameras" in general - has our town actually purchased or been given access to?
Does our town's contract cover future products in this lineup automatically, or does council approval happen separately each time Flock adds a new named product like Nova or OS Investigate?
Has anyone verified in writing which audio, drone, or AI-analysis features are actually enabled on our town's hardware right now, versus sold as future upgrades?
This page will be updated as more factual sources become available.
