Condor cameras can be set to automatically zoom in on people\u2019s faces as they walk through a parking lot, down a public street, or play on a playground, or they can be controlled manually, according to marketing material on Flock\u2019s website. We watched Condor cameras zoom in on a woman walking her dog on a bike path in suburban Atlanta; a camera followed a man walking through a Macy\u2019s parking lot in Bakersfield; surveil children swinging on a swingset at a playground; and film high-res video of people sitting at a stoplight in traffic. In one case, we were able to watch a man rollerblade down Brookhaven, Georgia\u2019s Peachtree Creek Greenway bike path. The Flock camera zoomed in on him and tracked him as he rolled past. Minutes later, he showed up on another exposed camera livestream further down the bike path. The camera\u2019s resolution was good enough that we were able to see that, when he stopped beneath one of the cameras, he was watching rollerblading videos on his phone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Bruce Schneier<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneier.com\/blog\/archives\/2026\/01\/flock-exposes-its-ai-enabled-surveillance-cameras.html\">Go to bruce schneier<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flock Exposes Its AI-Enabled Surveillance Cameras 404 Media has the story: Unlike many of Flock\u2019s cameras, which are designed to capture license plates as people drive by, Flock\u2019s Condor cameras are pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras designed to record and track people, not vehicles.
