Is there a free map of Flock cameras?

2 min readAnswer

Yes. FlockDetour's live map at flockdetour.com/map is free. No account needed. It has a filter for Flock Safety cameras. DeFlock also runs a free map built from OpenStreetMap.

What the FlockDetour map shows

FlockDetour covers known Flock Safety cameras and other license plate readers in the United States and Canada. Speed and red-light cameras have separate labels. Select a pin to see its source and confidence level. Direction and operator appear when known.

The camera map, fastest-route preview, agency records and news are also free in FlockDetour's iPhone and Android apps. You only need Pro for turn-by-turn navigation and the camera-aware route modes.

Read the map with care

  • Coverage is uneven. FlockDetour says a blank area doesn't mean camera-free.
  • A map's camera count isn't a Flock count. Maps include other vendors and camera types.
  • Many records have no confirmed date.
  • Mobile readers on police cars aren't on a fixed map.

Where the data comes from

FlockDetour says OpenStreetMap contributors supply many locations, alongside state traffic-camera lists, Chicago's published speed and red-light camera data, and records matched to official Flock transparency portals. Reports sent in the app stay private until a person reviews them.
