Penn State to End Flock Camera Use at University Park
Penn State is discontinuing its use of Flock security cameras on the University Park campus, as the university has decided not to renew its contract for the system.
Harrisburg Lancaster Lebanon York, PA, October 15, 2026 —
Penn State is discontinuing its use of Flock security cameras on the University Park campus after deciding not to renew its contract for the system. The decision means the university will end its use of the cameras at that campus, though the timing of the change was not provided.
The information available does not explain why Penn State chose not to renew the contract. It also does not specify how many cameras are involved, where they are located, when the existing contract expires, or what arrangements, if any, will follow their discontinuation.
No details were provided about whether the decision applies beyond the University Park campus. The information does not identify a university office or spokesperson that made or announced the decision, and it includes no statement from Penn State or Flock about the change.
The confirmed development is limited to the end of the university’s use of the Flock system at University Park and its decision not to renew the contract. Without additional information, the reasons for the decision and its practical effects on campus security operations remain unclear.
Penn State’s decision concerns its contract for the system; the available information does not describe any contract terms, costs, or other conditions. It also does not say whether any other security-camera systems are in use or will be considered. Those details have not been provided.
