Flock & ALPR Cameras in Waukesha, Wisconsin
Volunteers have reported 35 automated license plate readers in and around Waukesha — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 35 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Waukesha, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 29 of them sit inside Waukesha itself.
The rest sit in City of Pewaukee (4), Village of Waukesha (2).
16 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (13), Oconomowoc (1), ThedaCare-Froedtert Health (1), Waukesha PD (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Waukesha
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 Waukesha — here’s where that data goes.
