Flock & ALPR Cameras in Paramus, New Jersey

Volunteers have reported 5 automated license plate readers in and around Paramus — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 5 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Paramus, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 4 of them sit inside Paramus itself.

The rest sit in Fair Lawn (1).

1 of them name an operator in the record: The Home Depot (1). 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 Paramus
