Flock Camera is a map of the license plate readers watching America's roads — Flock Safety cameras and every other ALPR brand — with alerts that warn you before you drive past one. More than 137,000 cameras (over 127k across the US, plus growing coverage in Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia), crowdsourced by the community and mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors, built right into the app. No account, no cloud, no tracking: the entire camera database lives on your phone, and your location never leaves it. THE FLOCK CAMERA MAP • Every mapped plate reader on Earth, on one map — 127,000+ in the US alone • See what each camera sees: view cones show the direction a camera points, not just where it stands • Flock Safety cameras in red, every other brand in amber • Tap any camera for details: brand, operator, direction, mount, last verified • Area stats for wherever you're looking: totals, top brands, top operators • Standard, satellite and hybrid map styles PROXIMITY ALERTS • Get a notification as you approach a plate reader, before you pass it • Works in the background while you drive, phone in your pocket • Choose your warning distance, from 200 m to 1.5 km • A second alert tells you when you're inside a camera's field of view YOUR HISTORY • Every camera you've passed, logged automatically while alerts are on • "Likely captured" tells you when you were close enough — and in front of the lens — for a plate read • Street and town for each encounter, swipe to delete, everything stored only on your device PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The camera map and your history live entirely on your phone • Your location is compared against the map locally and is never transmitted • No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no ads • Delete the app and every trace is gone THE DATA Camera locations come from OpenStreetMap and the DeFlock mapping community — the same open dataset trusted by researchers and journalists covering ALPR surveillance. Camera data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Spot a camera that isn't mapped? Add it on OpenStreetMap and every app using the data improves. Whether you call them Flock cameras, ALPRs, or license plate readers — they see you. Now you can see them. Flock Camera is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Flock Safety, Inc. Camera positions and directions are community-mapped estimates; coverage varies by area and no warning is guaranteed. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase.
