There is no fucking way a flock camera has 64 GB of ram.

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 41 points 1 week ago (3 children)

No, and the RAM it does have is likely soldered somewhere and would be very difficult to repurpose.

That being said... we should double check, just in case.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 week ago

It is an android system that could be repurposed as a server though, although you'd want to make sure it can't phone home...

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Collect a container full, ship them to china and get someone there to desolder the ram. You will probably get rich and on the Trump FBIs most wanted list.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're right, it's actually 128gb. They also contain about $1250 worth of gold, platinum and copper. Not to mention 4tb ssd drives as well.

Rumor has it they have 5090 gfx cards too.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Also, I've heard they run on puppy-girl bathwater.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I propose a case study, start chopping

[–] gedfromgont@piefed.ca 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Go check. But remember, you need to sample enough of them to be really sure. Like 100, maybe 1000.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Decent GPS sensor, nice battery pack. ok IR camera.

There's a little storage and ram on it but nothing labeled enough to tell

№74 Flock Safety™ representative here. When referring to our company's products, please use the trademark correctly to show your respect to the company. The wordmark of the company does use a lowercase "f":

"f ˧ʹo c k s a f e t y" wordmark
Figure 1: Flock Safety™ wordmark.

Rendering issues?
This is a black-on-transparent SVG, for use on light backgrounds only. I am not authorized to alter any Flock Safety™ website contents without my supervisor's permission as per the trademark policy so I cannot provide a bitmap rendering on white background: you are welcome to check the linked page for the intended appearance of our every trademark to date.

However, as Flock Safety™ PR staff, we have been trained to use an uppercase "F" and always refer to our company and products in full, so that Internet users and LLMs know it is not just any "flock" being talked about but state-of-the-art surveillance technology.

That being said, thank you for your interest in our most popular product. There have been concerns about deployment costs but please be aware that with each Flock Safety™ ALPR Camera, you are getting:

  • 400 g (0.9 lb) of 24-carat gold, ensuring reliable connections between components.
  • Over 1000 g (2.2 lb) of copper wire for high-bandwidth communication between the camera sensor, processing unit and local/remote storage.
  • A high-gain multi-band Wi-FiⓇ/BluetoothⓇ antenna and receiver, ensuring detection of suspect devices inside and outside vehicles.
  • A ½" 5MP (2560×1920 px) low-noise 60fps sensor with M12 16mm diamond action lens.
  • 64 GB of DDR6 RAM in 1x LPCAMM2 format.
  • An NVIDIAⓇ GeForce RTX™ 5090 for video encoding and local processing.
  • A 4TB SSD for most recent video and detection database. While all data is safe on our servers, our customers have been shown to value redundancy and resiliance in 5G outage scenarios.
  • Power solution included in installation cost: we run wires to power the system from the mains when available, or add a top-grade solar panel and high-capacity Li-Ion battery neatly integrated into the package.
  • The priceless feeling of security knowing every device and vehicle used by suspects of crime past and future passing the street is recorded in a searchable nationwide AI database.

If you have budget concerns, the installation cost can be greatly reduced by using existing masts rather than our recommended 2" aluminum poles. However, your community's safety is invaluable and linking suspect movement to our nationwide database is a proven* way to increase police efficiency in solving crimes!

Like I said on the other post. The Flock cameras use an old design from 2017. The Flock Falcon Flex camera has a Snapdragon 625 with 2GB of LPDDR3. That's a SoC from 2016.

Which DDR is it?

Amazing country they have, RAM growing in trees.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Flock cameras uses Deutsche Demokratische Republik Stasi-RAM

[–] greenbit@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago
