Flock & ALPR Cameras in Adrian, Michigan

Volunteers have reported 14 automated license plate readers in and around Adrian — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 14 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Adrian, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 10 of them sit inside Adrian itself.

The rest sit in Madison Township (3), Palmyra Township (1).

13 of them name an operator in the record: Adrian Police Department (10), Lowe's (3). 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 Adrian

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