Flock & ALPR Cameras in Hoboken, New Jersey

Volunteers have reported 14 automated license plate readers in and around Hoboken — 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 Hoboken, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Hoboken itself.

The rest sit in Jersey City (14).

8 of them name an operator in the record: PANYNJ (7), Simon Property Group (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Hoboken

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