Flock & ALPR Cameras in New Haven, Connecticut
Volunteers have reported 111 automated license plate readers in and around New Haven — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 111 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of New Haven, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 105 of them sit inside New Haven itself.
The rest sit in Hamden (5), West Haven (1).
95 of them name an operator in the record: New Haven Police Department (88), Hamden Police Department (5), Lowe's (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching New Haven
These aren’t red-light cameras.

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