Flock & ALPR Cameras in Greenwood, South Carolina

Volunteers have reported 70 automated license plate readers in and around Greenwood — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 70 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Greenwood, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 51 of them sit inside Greenwood itself.

The rest sit in Promised Land (1).

1 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

18 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Greenwood

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