FlockYou Display Pro | Touchscreen ALPR Awareness Detector

Premium FlockYou Detection with Touchscreen Control

FlockYou Display Pro brings the FlockYou ALPR awareness platform to a feature-rich, self-contained touchscreen device.

Built by STS Collective on the M5Stack Core2 platform and shipped with FlockYou firmware preinstalled, Display Pro passively monitors nearby 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi activity for characteristics associated with supported automated license plate reader systems.

The 2-inch 320 × 240 IPS touchscreen provides a full local interface for monitoring, detections, status information, and device controls.

Display Pro also adds a larger 500mAh rechargeable battery, vibration motor, integrated speaker, 8MB PSRAM, microphone, RTC, and expandable M5Stack hardware.

No cloud account. No subscription. No required phone.

2-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen

Display Pro replaces traditional button-focused interaction with a 2-inch capacitive touchscreen.

The 320 × 240 IPS display provides room for FlockYou monitoring information, detections, wireless identifiers, confidence information, runtime data, and device status.

Touch input also provides a foundation for a richer FlockYou interface without requiring a separate phone or computer.

Open-Source FlockYou Firmware

FlockYou Display Pro ships with the STS Collective FlockYou ESP32 firmware installed and configured.

The firmware monitors wireless activity and evaluates multiple indicators associated with supported ALPR infrastructure.

Review the source code, documentation, detection methodology, development history, and releases through the official repository:

⁠FlockYou ESP32 Firmware on GitHub

The open-source design gives researchers and users access to the software and detection logic running on their device.

How FlockYou Works

FlockYou passively monitors publicly observable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi activity and evaluates indicators associated with supported ALPR systems.

Detection methods supported by the FlockYou platform include:

• Wi-Fi frame analysis
• Manufacturer OUI matching
• Associated SSID patterns
• Wireless signature matching
• Multi-address matching
• Confidence-based detection logic

Multiple indicators help FlockYou distinguish relevant activity from unrelated Wi-Fi devices operating nearby.

Visual, Audible, and Haptic Hardware

Display Pro provides hardware for three forms of local feedback.

The IPS display presents detailed visual information.

The integrated speaker provides audible alert capability.

An internal vibration motor provides hardware support for haptic feedback and vibration alerts.

This combination makes Display Pro well suited to vehicle, portable, and field use.

500mAh Rechargeable Battery

Display Pro carries a substantially larger internal battery than the other display-focused FlockYou models.

Its integrated 500mAh lithium battery provides greater portable power capacity while retaining USB Type-C charging.

Use Display Pro as a handheld device, place it in a vehicle, or connect USB power for extended stationary operation.

More Memory for FlockYou

The ESP32 platform includes:

• 16MB Flash
• 8MB PSRAM
• 520KB SRAM
• Dual-core processing up to 240 MHz

The additional PSRAM gives Display Pro considerably more working memory than the standard Display hardware platform and provides greater headroom for future FlockYou features.

Built for Vehicle and Field Use

At approximately 54 × 54 × 16.5 mm, Display Pro packs its screen, battery, speaker, vibration motor, microphone, sensors, and ESP32 hardware into a compact enclosure.

It works well for:

• Vehicle installations
• Dash-mounted awareness systems
• Everyday carry
• Field research
• Security demonstrations
• Privacy research
• Cybersecurity education
• Wireless experimentation
• Portable surveillance-awareness kits

Passive by Design

FlockYou focuses on passive monitoring and situational awareness.

The device listens for wireless activity present in the surrounding environment and processes detection information locally.

It does not require access to ALPR infrastructure, a Flock Safety account, or an STS Collective cloud service.

No Subscription Required

FlockYou Display Pro operates locally.

There is no required monthly service, cloud account, or recurring subscription.

Power it on and FlockYou begins monitoring supported wireless activity.

Expandable M5Stack Platform

Display Pro uses the M5Stack Core2 platform, providing extensive hardware expansion options for researchers and developers.

The system includes M5-Bus expansion, Grove connectivity, microSD support, an RTC, microphone, 6-axis IMU, speaker, vibration motor, and additional interfaces.

This makes Display Pro well suited to advanced experimentation and future FlockYou development.
