Flock & ALPR Cameras in Rocky Mount, North Carolina

Volunteers have reported 31 automated license plate readers in and around Rocky Mount — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 31 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Rocky Mount, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 27 of them sit inside Rocky Mount itself.

The rest sit in Dortches (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.

2 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.
