Flock & ALPR Cameras in Highland, Indiana

Volunteers have reported 47 automated license plate readers in and around Highland — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 47 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Highland, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 19 of them sit inside Highland itself.

The rest sit in Hammond (12), Gary (8), Griffith (8).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (2). 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 Highland

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