I'd believe 8GB easy, probably 16GB or more.
It's recording video & audio, scanning plates on cars & comparing them to a database, waiting for input to view live feeds (possibly to multiple users at once), probably running some type of encryption so people can't "steal" the data they're collecting...
If an apple watch has like a gig of RAM, I'd believe a flock cam is in the double digits
The scanning and sharing are almost certainly cloud based, not on device. Streaming encrypted data to a remote endpoint doesn't take much ram especially if it has dedicated crypto hardware
Recording video and audio needs like 1GB RAM max. It would then stream that to a data center to do the heavy lifting for scanning the images, extracting license plates, running the database and so on. But even if they did that locally, 4 GB is enough.
As someone with a home server and security cameras... (See 3rd paragraph for flock)
The cameras don't have any ram. At least not the kind we are talking about. They use onboard processors and flash memory.
The NVR typically has 4-8g ram but that's the not the camera, that's the hub that they all connect to, and it also has the HHD/SSD wich is now also double+ the price. It's also not external, it's in a secure location.
Flock: AFAIK cameras run snapdragon, so it's like a cell phone, with 2g ram chip. Not PC RAM. That, once again, could be in the NVR, which I believe is cloud based, so not a local device you can access.
