The cameras can be powered with solar panels and transmit data via a cellular modem so no extra wiring is needed. Note that the version we dissected is an older version and the modem is no longer being sold. Although the cameras capture images that include the license plates of vehicles, they are triggered by a motion detection sensor and will likely capture an image of anything that triggers the motion detector, including people, bicycles, etc. > Annotated photo of Flock Safety camera showing the motion detection sensor, LEDs and 16mm IR 1/2″ lens > After opening the Flock Safety camera, the biggest item is the PHD Energy rechargeable lithium ion battery **Wayback failure**: The bounded Save Page Now pass stopped after the archive service returned HTTP 403 on the first request.
