Flock & ALPR Cameras in Mystic, Connecticut
Volunteers have reported 5 automated license plate readers in and around Mystic — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 5 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Mystic, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 2 of them sit inside Mystic itself.
The rest sit in Stonington (2), Groton (1).
2 of them name an operator in the record: Stonington Police Department (1), Town of Groton Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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