Flock Safety cameras are coming to the USI
Officials say of the University of Southern Indiana, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, and USI Public Safety plan to install three of the surveillance cameras this spring.
The Flock cameras scan license plates, detect vehicle details, and provide real-time data to local, state, and federal law enforcement.
The cameras notify authorities when a wanted vehicle passes by, ensuring what USI calls a “swift response for enhanced security”
Officials say the data captured by Flock Safety cameras is permanently deleted after 30 days and cannot be accessed or recovered.
USI Vice President Steve Bridges calls the cameras just one of the ways the university is using advances in technology to create a safer campus.
Civil liberties advocates have raised privacy concerns over Flock cameras.
