Flock & ALPR Cameras in Novi, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 13 automated license plate readers in and around Novi — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 13 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Novi, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 8 of them sit inside Novi itself.
The rest sit in Farmington Hills (5).
13 of them name an operator in the record: Novi Police Department (8), Farmington Hills Police Department (4), American Concrete Institute (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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