Flock & ALPR Cameras in Bellaire, Texas

Volunteers have reported 199 automated license plate readers in and around Bellaire — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 197 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Bellaire, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 35 of them sit inside Bellaire itself.

The rest sit in Houston (162).

10 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (10). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
