Flock & ALPR Cameras in Venice, Florida
Volunteers have reported 5 automated license plate readers in and around Venice — 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 Venice, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 4 of them sit inside Venice itself.
The rest sit in Nokomis (1).

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