Flock & ALPR Cameras in Paramount, California

Volunteers have reported 29 automated license plate readers in and around Paramount — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 29 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Paramount, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 14 of them sit inside Paramount itself.

The rest sit in Bellflower (13), Downey (2).

What’s watching Paramount

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