Flock & ALPR Cameras in Kemah, Texas
Volunteers have reported 26 automated license plate readers in and around Kemah — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 26 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Kemah, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 11 of them sit inside Kemah itself.
The rest sit in League City (10), Clear Lake Shores (4), Bacliff (1).
4 of them name an operator in the record: The Home Depot (4). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
