Which way Alabama cameras face

An ALPR reads plates only in the direction it points, so a camera facing away from your lane doesn't photograph your plate. 37 of the 2,711 documented cameras in Alabama have a recorded bearing.

Bearings are rounded to the nearest of eight compass points. The 2,674 cameras without a recorded direction aren't counted here — that detail simply hasn't been tagged yet.

Camera vendors in Alabama

Vendor comes from OpenStreetMap's optional manufacturer tag. Most cameras read as unknown vendor because nobody has recorded that detail, not because the hardware is unidentifiable.

Planning a route around Alabama cameras

The interactive map includes a route planner: set a start and an end point and it returns both a direct route and one routed around documented cameras, so you can weigh the extra distance against the cameras avoided. It can only route around cameras that have been mapped, which in Alabama means these 2,711.

Common questions

Is there a Flock camera map for Alabama?

Yes. FlockScanner maps 2,711 documented ALPR (automated license plate reader) camera locations in Alabama, including Flock Safety cameras, as of September 4, 2026. That is 2.0% of all cameras documented nationally. Each is plotted with its vendor where recorded and, for 37 of them, the compass direction it faces. The data comes from OpenStreetMap volunteers and refreshes nightly.

How many Flock cameras are on the map in Alabama?

2,711 as of September 4, 2026, spread across 47 cities with their own map page. This counts cameras volunteers have mapped, not every camera installed in Alabama, so treat it as a floor rather than a total.

Which cities in Alabama have the most Flock cameras?

By documented count, the Alabama cities with the most mapped ALPR cameras are Birmingham (301), Huntsville (138), Montgomery (104), Hoover (75), Tuscaloosa (69). Each has its own map page on FlockScanner listing the individual cameras. Bear in mind this ranks mapping activity as well as deployment.

Which way do Flock cameras in Alabama face?

37 of the 2,711 documented cameras in Alabama have a recorded compass bearing. 7 face N, 6 face W, 5 face SE, 4 face NE. Direction matters because an ALPR reads plates only in the direction it points, so a camera facing away from your lane does not photograph your plate.

More on Alabama

As of September 4, 2026, FlockScanner maps 138,636 documented ALPR (automated license plate reader) cameras across 50 US states, including Flock Safety cameras, sourced from OpenStreetMap and refreshed nightly. That figure is a lower bound on the number actually installed — it counts what volunteers have mapped, not what exists.
