I imagine its for security. Ie if there are reports of robbery, you can find who did it. I know its not that popular in the states but its common elsewhere, but with better controls. (well, "better" as in controlled by shitty IoT devices)
I think the thing with flock is just how poorly put together everything is. They are obviously insecure, and the entire network has massive holes in it. Yet its still being rolled out.
- ses1984 5mo agoWhy would a gymnastics gym get robbed? It’s just a bunch of smelly equipment that’s hard to sell and probably very little cash.
- tedggh 5mo agoLooting is done for fun too. It must suck to have kids show up for practice in the morning and some of the essential gear is gone. It doesn’t matter if it is inexpensive to replace, you still have to cancel class and take a day or two up replace it, file a police report, etc
- antiframe 5mo agoRight, but why is a Flock camera a better approach than: insurance, on-prem camera, etc. The Flock camera doesn't prevent theft. It increases remote viewing (especially if it's used in a demo to strangers they aren't customers yet, doubly especially if those strange customers are doing it because the might want to see young gymnasts)
- KaiserPro 5mo agonormally a condition of insurance is that you have CCTV and other preventative systems in place. > The Flock camera doesn't prevent theft. Not directly, but it does increase the chance of the perpetrator getting caught (not flock, the camera) in theory this means that less people are about to steal/break stuff. Also sign posts with saying that "this place has surveillance" tends to reduce opportunists. On a side note I would recommend volunteering at a community centre/sports/scouts/library. First its extremely rewarding, and secondly you learn about how things are in the real world "for the normals"
- gamerslexus 5mo agoAt least for private households, it's not mandatory to have surveillance cameras at home. If you do have one though, they will demand footage and can deny your claim if it was off, or worse. https://youtu.be/UMIwNiwQewQ?t=903 https://youtu.be/UMIwNiwQewQ?t=903
- KaiserPro 5mo agoYeah, I wouldnt have that in my house
- KaiserPro 5mo agohere its mostly mobile phones.
- Symbiote 5mo agoPossibly as a deterrent to a child (or adult) going through clothing/bags and stealing mobile phones while the owners are exercising.
- RandallBrown 5mo agoRobbery may not be the main reason for a camera. Having a video of any incident that happens (broken equipment leading to injury, angry parent, etc.) would be valuable.
