Flock & ALPR Cameras in Oneonta, Alabama

Volunteers have reported 15 automated license plate readers in and around Oneonta — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 15 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Oneonta, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 10 of them sit inside Oneonta itself.

The rest sit in Allgood (1).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

4 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.
