Flock & ALPR Cameras in Heath, Ohio
Volunteers have reported 21 automated license plate readers in and around Heath — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 21 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Heath, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 13 of them sit inside Heath itself.
The rest sit in Newark (8).
13 of them name an operator in the record: Heath Police Department (7), Newark Ohio Division of Police (4), Lowe's (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 Heath
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 Heath — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Heath (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
