Flock & ALPR Cameras in Dublin, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 45 automated license plate readers in and around Dublin — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 45 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Dublin, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 41 of them sit inside Dublin itself.

The rest sit in Jerome Township (2), Columbus (1), Upper Arlington (1).

1 of them name an operator in the record: City of Dublin PD (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.

What’s watching Dublin

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