Flock & ALPR Cameras in Kenmore, New York
Volunteers have reported 44 automated license plate readers in and around Kenmore — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 44 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Kenmore, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Kenmore itself.
The rest sit in Buffalo (32), Town of Tonawanda (7), Village of Kenmore (5).
22 of them name an operator in the record: Buffalo Police Department (18), Village of Kenmore Police Department (4). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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