Flock also leases drones, which can be automatically deployed by Flock's AI, to go provide surveillance over an area, or follow a person of interest. With an advertised speed of 60mph, and the ability to scan license plates from 2000 feet away, these enable the customer to identify and track anyone within range, where other surveillance equipment is not already installed. <ref>https://www.flocksafety.com/products/flock-dfr</ref><ref>https://www.cnet.com/home/security/when-flock-comes-to-town-why-cities-are-axing-the-controversial-surveillance-technology/</ref>
