Residents say they feel like they are not getting straight answers.
Residents are working to learn how these cameras operate and, on Thursday, spoke to ABC13 about their demands for city officials to be more transparent, as they feel their questions are being ignored.
"Everybody in the community wants to feel safe. Everyone agrees this could help with kidnappings and hit-and-runs. To me, I just haven't seen the data that proves that," said concerned citizen, James Fletes.
Officials have said in the past that Flock cameras read license plates and alert police if the plates are linked to any crimes.
This technology has been used in the greater Houston area for years. In Conroe, some people say they are worried about the number of cameras and the lack of information about them.

Fletes says this concern led him to file a public records request with the city of Conroe. He asked questions such as how many cameras there are, how they work, where the data goes, and who can access it.
He says the city told him it would cost $1,200 to release the information, so he and others in the community joined forces to cover the cost.
"This is no longer just my request. It's the people of Conroe's request. They funded it, and we're tired of being stonewalled," said Fletes.
The original request was sent in March. Now, it's almost May, and he says no information has been released yet.
"They were quick to take the money and very slow to provide the documents," said Fletes.
He says that after the city received the payment for the records, it sent some of its requests to the attorney general's office to determine whether the information must be released.
"I'm frustrated, to tell you the truth. But I'm not tired, and I'm not going to stop," said Fletes.
He and other advocates say it should not be this hard to get public information from a government agency.

According to the attorney general's office website, the maximum time for a decision is 45 days.
