Flock & ALPR Cameras in Lincolnshire, Illinois

Volunteers have reported 16 automated license plate readers in and around Lincolnshire — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 16 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Lincolnshire, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 14 of them sit inside Lincolnshire itself.

The rest sit in Buffalo Grove (1), Vernon Hills (1).

What’s watching Lincolnshire

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