Flock & ALPR Cameras in Homestead, Pennsylvania
Volunteers have reported 21 automated license plate readers in and around Homestead — 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 Homestead, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 6 of them sit inside Homestead itself.
The rest sit in Pittsburgh (10), West Homestead (3), Munhall (2).
2 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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