Flock & ALPR Cameras in Newark, Ohio
Volunteers have reported 21 automated license plate readers in and around Newark — 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 Newark, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 19 of them sit inside Newark itself.
The rest sit in Heath (1), Newton Township (1).
8 of them name an operator in the record: Newark Ohio Division of Police (7), Heath Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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