Flock & ALPR Cameras in Waveland, Mississippi

Volunteers have reported 12 automated license plate readers in and around Waveland — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 12 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Waveland, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 8 of them sit inside Waveland itself.

The rest sit in Bay St. Louis (4).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (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 Waveland

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