Flock & ALPR Cameras in Burbank, California
Volunteers have reported 51 automated license plate readers in and around Burbank — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 51 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Burbank, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 41 of them sit inside Burbank itself.
The rest sit in Glendale (10).
17 of them name an operator in the record: Burbank (14), The Home Depot (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
