Flock & ALPR Cameras in Rio Grande, New Jersey

Volunteers have reported 8 automated license plate readers in and around Rio Grande — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 8 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Rio Grande, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Rio Grande itself.

The rest sit in Middle Township (6), Lower Township (2).

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 Rio Grande

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