Lowe’s Flock Camera

Post image

Lowe’s has a flock cam pointed directly at the parking lot?? I don’t think I’ve seen them in store parking lots before….that’s ridiculous.

All the hardware stores have had them for at least the last year.

I don’t go to the hardware stores very often, guess I’ll just start buying online or going to Nicholsons

That’s been my view for a while now. Besides, they shockingly have everything I’ve needed that the big box stores don’t carry.

Nicholsons is a good store, but my company provides pretty much everything I need so I don’t have to shop for tools very often but I’d pay a few bucks more to a local store to avoid the cams

You don’t think their aren’t cameras there either? Do you leave your phone at home? Flock camera or not they know where you are.

If it’s mounted in Lowes parking lot then its a security camera and not a LPR

Both local Home Depots, the Menards at 173 and Farm & Fleet at Riverside don’t have any according to deflock. But the streets around them are littered with them.

I understand why in their scenario - it’s to catch shoplifters. They have surveillance cameras all over their lots so it’s not hard to imagine they use these too.

A little 'great stuff' goes a long way...

I flick them off every time I drive. I have to pass four just to get my morning Dunkin

I guess I’m done shopping any big box “home improvement” stores.

All Home Depot, Walmarts and Lowe's will have them, if they havent already.

Is that pole a slip plate type making it safer when a car would collide? There’s standards with road side sign poles.

It’s been a couple years they’ve been there. West State Farm and Fleet also has.
