just walking a mile down a road i haven't been down in years, i spotted two of them. there's been absolutely no local coverage about it.. and scanning local municipal and town meeting minutes for the last several years--not one mention of them.

They have a whole division for pushing HOA's to partner with them and "keep the places you call home safe." So it's not even just Governments you need to wonder about, HOA's can just install them. So if you can't find anything in Government documents, it's entirely possible a nearby HOA did it.

Flock Safety’s HOA security cameras help deter and solve crime, protect residents, and build trust with 24/7 tech that works with law enforcement to keep your neighborhood safe and connected.

Optional law enforcement access gives your board confidence with faster response times and alerts for known threats—while keeping full control in your community’s hands

Flock Safety’s solar-powered, LTE-connected neighborhood camera solutions install anywhere—no wiring, no utility bills, no IT headaches. We handle setup, maintenance, and support.

That's some of the sales pitch on their site about why HOA's should get them.

they were on a street that is also carries state and u.s. highway designation, just past the municipal boundary. small town here, there literally are no 'subdivisions' or hoa anywhere around.
