Find the Flock cameras watching your street
Flock Safety has put automated license plate readers on poles in thousands of American towns. They log every car that drives past. Fluck puts more than 300,000 of their devices on one map, so you can see where they are.
Fluck is not affiliated with Flock Safety. It's an independent, noncommercial project by r12d. It has no ads and no tracking, and it sets no cookies.
What a Flock camera records
A Flock "Falcon" camera photographs every vehicle that passes. It reads the license plate, and it also records the make, color, body type, damage, roof racks and bumper stickers, which Flock calls a "Vehicle Fingerprint". Each sighting is stored with a time and place. Police can then search a car's movements across every agency that shares data on Flock's network, usually without a warrant.
Flock also sells other devices. On the map, each type has its own color:
- Falcon: a license plate reader, including Falcon Flex (portable) and highway models
- Raven: an acoustic sensor that listens for gunshots
- Wing: someone else's camera connected to Flock's network
- Condor: a live-video camera that can pan, tilt and zoom
- Other Flock hardware: video cameras, drones and their docks, trailers, speakers and devices Flock labels only internally
- A license plate reader reported by OpenStreetMap volunteers
Zoom in far enough and each camera shows a cone pointing in the direction it faces, where that's known.
Where the Flock map data comes from
Most of the dots come from an inventory of Flock devices that security researcher Joshua Michael archived in December 2025, after he found that a Flock website exposed an access token without requiring a login. He reported the exposure to Flock. The inventory lists each device's location, type, status and capabilities. Fluck shows only those fields and leaves out device names, which often contain street addresses, and Flock's internal IDs.
The second layer is ALPRs that volunteers have mapped in OpenStreetMap, mostly through DeFlock. It's refreshed every night, so it includes cameras installed after the inventory snapshot.
Frequently asked questions about the Flock camera map
What is a Flock camera?
Flock Safety sells automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, usually solar-powered and mounted on a pole, to police departments, cities, homeowner associations and businesses. They photograph every passing vehicle and add it to a searchable database.
How do I find Flock cameras near me?
Type your ZIP code into the search box on the map, or press the location button. Your location stays in your browser and is never sent to us. ZIP codes are looked up from a file that's loaded once, not sent to a search service.
Is this Flock camera map complete?
No. The inventory is a snapshot from 2026-08-28, so newer cameras are missing and some listed ones may have moved or been removed. Flock itself says it has about 120,000 cameras, fewer than this inventory lists. Some entries are planned or decommissioned devices, which the status filter separates out. The OpenStreetMap layer is only as complete as volunteers have made it.
I found a camera that isn't on the map. How do I add it?
Report it to OpenStreetMap through DeFlock, which makes tagging a camera quick. Fluck picks up new OpenStreetMap reports the next night.
Is Fluck affiliated with Flock Safety?
No. Fluck is an independent, noncommercial project and has no connection to Flock Safety. "Flock" and "Flock Safety" are Flock Group Inc.'s trademarks. We use them only to say whose cameras these are.
Does Fluck track me?
No. There are no cookies, no analytics and no access logs, and the page makes no requests to third parties. The base map is served from our own server rather than a map provider.
