Affordable ALPR Awareness with a Built-In Display

FlockYou Mini brings FlockYou ALPR awareness to a compact, budget-friendly device with an integrated color display.

Running the open-source FlockYou ESP32 firmware, FlockYou Mini passively monitors 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi activity for wireless characteristics associated with supported automated license plate reader systems.

When FlockYou identifies matching activity, the device provides immediate local visual and audible feedback.

No cloud account. No subscription. No connection to ALPR infrastructure.

Open-Source FlockYou Firmware

FlockYou Mini ships preconfigured with the open-source FlockYou ESP32 project.

The firmware uses passive Wi-Fi monitoring and multiple detection methods to identify wireless activity associated with supported ALPR infrastructure.

Review the source code, detection methodology, documentation, development history, and current firmware directly on GitHub:

FlockYou ESP32 Firmware on GitHub

Because the firmware is open source, researchers and developers also have access to the underlying detection logic and supporting research rather than relying on an undocumented detection system.

How FlockYou Detects ALPR Systems

FlockYou analyzes publicly broadcast wireless activity rather than communicating with the camera.

Detection methods supported by the firmware include:

  • Wi-Fi frame analysis
  • Manufacturer OUI matching
  • Flock-associated SSID pattern detection
  • Wildcard probe signature detection
  • Multi-address matching
  • Confidence-based detection scoring

The firmware combines available indicators to help distinguish relevant activity from unrelated nearby Wi-Fi devices.

Built-In Color Display

FlockYou Mini adds an integrated 1.14-inch color LCD to the FlockYou experience.

The display provides a dedicated local interface for status and detection information without requiring a separate phone or computer for normal operation.

This makes FlockYou Mini a practical middle ground between basic LED-only FlockYou hardware and larger, higher-end FlockYou configurations.

Compact ALPR Awareness

FlockYou Mini measures approximately 48 × 24 × 8.4 mm and weighs approximately 17 grams.

Its small size makes it suitable for:

  • Vehicle use
  • Everyday carry
  • Travel
  • Field research
  • Security testing
  • Privacy research
  • Wireless experimentation
  • Portable surveillance-awareness kits

An integrated 120mAh rechargeable battery supports portable operation, while USB power supports longer vehicle or stationary deployments.

Passive by Design

FlockYou Mini listens for wireless activity already present in the surrounding environment.

The FlockYou firmware does not authenticate to detected networks, decrypt network traffic, or communicate with the ALPR system.

Detection processing occurs locally on the device.

Ideal For

  • Privacy-conscious individuals
  • Security professionals
  • Penetration testers
  • Journalists
  • Digital rights advocates
  • Wireless security researchers
  • Cybersecurity students
  • RF and wireless enthusiasts
  • Researchers studying ALPR infrastructure
  • Anyone interested in local surveillance awareness
