Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The rest sit in Goldsboro (5).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Elroy

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