How does Flock cameras work on car and human tracking? Hackers revealed

Security researchers reveal security clears, which are widely used in Flock cameras. As a result of the review, serious worries about the data obtained from cameras came to agenda. What is learned from the devices accessed by hackers reveals important questions about the risks of surveillance technology.

The findings of the research include:

-1,6 million images removed from a single camera captured

• Camera tools can automatically track with identification (ANPR) technology
• Human face and body identification capabilities Tags
• The password of devices was protected with weak and common passwords
• stored data with insufficient encryption

Flock Safety is widely used in cameras, police departments and private security companies. This explains that millions of people’s movements and vehicle information may potentially be open to illegal access. Storage of data on central servers and poor security protocols make such violations easier.

This discovery reveals the necessity of re-review of security and privacy balance, along with the increasingly prevalence of intelligent surveillance systems. Manufacturers and users have become a handful of adopting more robust security applications while distributing these technologies.
