Flock Safety: Upgrade to community-wide protection

Ramp

"Flock builds wireless cameras that can be used to protect neighborhoods. The company has developed an outdoor camera that can track cars and record license plates. It can provide data to local police officers when crimes occur, but it can also proactively notify them when a stolen vehicle enters a neighborhood. The company has already solved its first crime and is being used by multiple neighborhoods, but believes it is targeting a $1.5 billion market opportunity in protecting local municipalities." I love this - NextDoor turned into a vigilante group after a few car robberies, and this would have been a welcome replacement to the random, low quality cameras that popped up around the neighborhood.

Two questions. 1. What is the price? 2. Are you going to crowdfund it, or just launch and sell it?

@robert_melkonyan We are currently only live in the Atlanta and surrounding areas, so we are already selling it. Plans to support neighborhoods across the US in the proceeding months. Thanks for the Upvote!

@glangley why only the USA? Australia would also be a great market. Currently they use facebook groups for each suburbs in a similar way. But this would work way better. Not only is it more automatic, but multiple suburbs would also be in the mix. Some councils in Australia also offer up to $1000 grants per security system or so. So councils could effectively pay for this.
