Flock & ALPR Cameras in Orland Hills, Illinois

Volunteers have reported 20 automated license plate readers in and around Orland Hills — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 20 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Orland Hills, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 4 of them sit inside Orland Hills itself.

The rest sit in Orland Park (9), Tinley Park (7).

1 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Orland Hills
