Flock & ALPR Cameras in Hartford, Wisconsin

Volunteers have reported 5 automated license plate readers in and around Hartford — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 5 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Hartford, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 3 of them sit inside Hartford itself.

The rest sit in Town of Hartford (1), Town of Rubicon (1).

3 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (2), Dodge County (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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