Flock & ALPR Cameras in Mobile, Alabama
Volunteers have reported 30 automated license plate readers in and around Mobile — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 30 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Mobile, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 28 of them sit inside Mobile itself.
The rest sit in Spanish Fort (2).
2 of them name an operator in the record: Alabama Department of Transportation (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Mobile
These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Mobile — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Mobile (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
