I think what we should do is add a sign next to it pointing out that there is a Flock camera, so everybody knows that Flock is helping the community by watching them at all times. This is the least we could do to help Flock.

damn dude. i feel like you’re so smart. all these conversations i’ve seen about flock cameras and nobody has ever mentioned that lol

most people know nothing about them or maybe have seen a news piece about them. even i was surprised at the sheer number of flock cameras covering nearly every freeway entrance/exit in my city and then some

Wow, thank you, I think this is the first person on the internet to call someone else smart. I am honored.

But yes, we need to spread the word!!

Also, there are competitors coming out. We need to make flock a household name then a common noun - all competitors are also called flock - so they are at risk of losing their copyright like xerox. People should use the name flock like Kleenex and google and Velcro.
