Flock & ALPR Cameras in Cypress, Texas

Volunteers have reported 139 automated license plate readers in and around Cypress — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 138 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Cypress, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 47 of them sit inside Cypress itself.

The rest sit in Fairfield (20), Houston (17), Longwood Village (3), Amira (2).

37 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (35), Lowe's (1), The Home Depot (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

49 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

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

What’s watching Cypress

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