About this map
What is a Flock camera?
Flock Safety cameras are license plate readers (ALPRs): small cameras on poles, usually solar powered, that photograph every passing car's plate and save it with the time and place. Cities, counties, police departments, neighborhoods and businesses buy them. Other makers include Motorola Solutions (Vigilant) and Genetec.
Where does the data come from?
From OpenStreetMap, where volunteers map each camera they find, most often with the DeFlock app. It's the same data the DeFlock map shows. Hoch Maps refreshes it every month, and North Dakota every week. The camera makers and police don't publish a list, so some cameras are missing and a few may be gone.
Can I see which way a camera points?
Yes. In the Hoch Maps app, zoom in and each camera shows a cone for the direction it faces, plus the maker and the agency that runs it when they're known. Turn on Layers › Flock plate readers.
Found one that isn't here?
Add it with the DeFlock app or on OpenStreetMap, and it shows up in Hoch Maps after the next refresh. Each camera's card in the app also has a "Fix it on OpenStreetMap" link.
Is it free?
Yes. The plate reader layers are free in Hoch Maps, on the web, Android and Windows.
