Flock & ALPR Cameras in Heber, California

Volunteers have reported 4 automated license plate readers in and around Heber — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 4 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Heber, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 2 of them sit inside Heber itself.

The rest sit in El Centro (1).

4 of them name an operator in the record: Imperial County Sheriff Department (4). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

1 camera has no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Heber

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 Heber — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Heber (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
