Flock & ALPR Cameras in Brooklyn, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 26 automated license plate readers in and around Brooklyn — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 26 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Brooklyn, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 15 of them sit inside Brooklyn itself.

The rest sit in Cleveland (7), Parma (4).

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.

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

What’s watching Brooklyn

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