Surveillance vendor VIDIZMO is pitching US police departments on a way to add facial recognition to Flock licence plate cameras, even though Flock itself refuses to offer the feature. The company says its software can export Flock data for facial recognition, behaviour prediction and racial and gender classification, prompting criticism from privacy advocates over expanding surveillance capabilities without the camera maker's safeguards.

Surveillance company Flock has said it will not add facial recognition to its camera network itself, but VIDIZMO, a third-party software vendor, is pitching police tools that would identify and track people using data from Flock cameras. Critics say the loophole effectively brings facial recognition to the network anyway, raising privacy concerns about how much control Flock really has over how its footage is used.
