Flock & ALPR Cameras in Medina, Ohio

Volunteers have reported 28 automated license plate readers in and around Medina — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 28 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Medina, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 16 of them sit inside Medina itself.

The rest sit in Medina Township (7), Montville Township (4), York Township (1).

1 of them name an operator in the record: City of Medina Police (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 Medina

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