Flock & ALPR Cameras in East Hartford, Connecticut

Volunteers have reported 14 automated license plate readers in and around East Hartford — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 14 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of East Hartford, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 7 of them sit inside East Hartford itself.

The rest sit in South Windsor (4), Manchester (3).

3 of them name an operator in the record: Manchester Police Department (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
