Flock & ALPR Cameras in Darien, Connecticut

Volunteers have reported 20 automated license plate readers in and around Darien — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 20 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Darien, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 11 of them sit inside Darien itself.

The rest sit in Norwalk (9).

16 of them name an operator in the record: Darien Police Department (7), Wegmans Food Markets (4), Norwalk Police Department (2), The Home Depot (2), Norwalk PD (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 Darien

These aren’t red-light cameras.

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