Tracking Flock Cameras with Oui-Spy
A community tutorial and video demonstration showing how to use the Oui-Spy device with the Flock-You firmware to detect Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) camera systems.
What Are Flock Cameras?
Flock cameras are automated license plate reader systems used by law enforcement and private communities. They capture vehicle metadata including license plates, timestamps, locations, and vehicle characteristics.
What This Project Covers
- Setting up the Oui-Spy with Flock-You firmware
- Using the device to detect nearby Flock camera systems
- Understanding how the BLE heuristics identify surveillance hardware
- Awareness and research into surveillance technology in public spaces
Key Takeaway
These surveillance systems are visible once you know what to look for. The project emphasizes that this is about awareness, research, and understanding the technology around us rather than system compromise.
