Flock & ALPR Cameras in Derby, Kansas

Volunteers have reported 20 automated license plate readers in and around Derby — 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 Derby, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 18 of them sit inside Derby itself.

The rest sit in Riverside Township (1).

4 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (3), Flock Safety (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

1 camera has no municipality recorded yet.

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

What’s watching Derby

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