Surveillance Company Tells Cops It Wants to Add Facial Recognition to Flock Cameras
VIDIZMO pitches police on adding facial recognition, watchlists, and racial/gender analysis to exported Flock camera data, despite Flock's no-facial-recognition pledge.
404 Media obtained a May sales email showing VIDIZMO offering Johnson City, Tennessee police facial recognition across Flock and Axon data in one searchable platform. VIDIZMO's CEO Nadeem Khan said the Flock integration is not built yet but the company would love to do it. VIDIZMO documentation describes watchlists that name and track people on live feeds and classify faces by race, gender, and age.
