Flock Safety Drops Distress Detection, Its Scream-Detecting Camera Feature
The pilot, tested on a small customer group, sat inside Flock's Audio Detection system, once called Raven, which still flags gunshots and crashes.
- Distress Detection screened for human screams inside a small pilot group of Flock customers.
- Flock's July 10, 2026 blog post says it acted after 'community consultation,' no specifics given.
- The wider Audio Detection system, once named Raven, still flags gunshots, fireworks and crashes.
Why it matters: No court, no vote, decided whether that microphone listened for screams; only Flock did, twice.
