Flock & ALPR Cameras in Highlands, Texas

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 44 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Highlands, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 4 of them sit inside Highlands itself.
The rest sit in Baytown (15), Channelview (2).
7 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (7). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
