Flock & ALPR Cameras in Alhambra, California
Volunteers have reported 40 automated license plate readers in and around Alhambra — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 40 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Alhambra, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 31 of them sit inside Alhambra itself.
The rest sit in San Marino (7), South Pasadena (2).
25 of them name an operator in the record: Alhambra Police Department (17), San Marino Police Department (3), The Home Depot (3), San Marino PD (1), South Pasadena Police Department (1). 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 Alhambra
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 Alhambra — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Alhambra (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
