Flock & ALPR Cameras in Brunswick, Ohio
Volunteers have reported 17 automated license plate readers in and around Brunswick — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 17 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Brunswick, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 12 of them sit inside Brunswick itself.
The rest sit in Granger Township (2), Hinckley Township (2), Medina (1).
6 of them name an operator in the record: City of Brunswick Police (4), City of Brunswick Police Department (1), The Home Depot (1). 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.
