Amazon Ring security cameras are now using facial recognition. They are calling it “Familiar Faces.”
Whenever a person buys a cloud based Amazon product, they are automatically brought into the Amazon sidewalk network, which includes geospatial data that can track objects in the neighborhood without the need for its own network or GPS module.
Amazon Ring security cameras have made a deal with Flock Safety, which will allow the police to more easily gain access to your home security cameras, and your neighborhood Amazon Sidewalk network.
Flock Safety’s founder and CEO, Garrett Langley, whose name just coincidentally translates to Watchtower of the CIA, wants to rid the world of crime.
“Crime. It’s a complex problem that requires so many people to work together to solve it. And at Flock, it’s our mission to eliminate it.”
~ Flock Safety founder and CEO, Garrett Langley
Flock was founded by Langley in 2017 and set their cameras up in a few test cities before the 2020 lock-down, during which, setting up Flock cameras all over the nation was considered essential. By 2024, Flock’s cameras have been installed across 42 states, in over 4,000 cities.
At least a third of their initial funding came from Palantir’s co-founder, Peter Thiel’s Thiel Capital. Peter Thiel is also co-founder of Founders Fund, who also invested in Flock Safety. Initialized Capital, another investor, was founded by former Palantir employee, Garry Tan. Flock Safety, Amazon Ring, and Palantir,
