Which way Massachusetts 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. 12 of the 1,211 documented cameras in Massachusetts have a recorded bearing.
- N — 3
- E — 1
- S — 4
- SW — 1
- W — 2
- NW — 1
Bearings are rounded to the nearest of eight compass points. The 1,199 cameras without a recorded direction aren't counted here — that detail simply hasn't been tagged yet.
Camera vendors in Massachusetts
- Flock Safety — 972 cameras
- Unknown vendor — 200 cameras
- Motorola/Vigilant — 25 cameras
- Genetec — 13 cameras
- Rekor — 1 camera
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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts means these 1,211.
Common questions
Is there a Flock camera map for Massachusetts?
Yes. FlockScanner maps 1,211 documented ALPR (automated license plate reader) camera locations in Massachusetts, including Flock Safety cameras, as of October 20, 2026. That is 0.8% of all cameras documented nationally. Each is plotted with its vendor where recorded and, for 12 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 Massachusetts?
1,211 as of October 20, 2026, spread across 25 cities with their own map page. This counts cameras volunteers have mapped, not every camera installed in Massachusetts, so treat it as a floor rather than a total.
Which cities in Massachusetts have the most Flock cameras?
By documented count, the Massachusetts cities with the most mapped ALPR cameras are Lowell (61), Quincy (60), Springfield (55), Boston (44), Lawrence (39). 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 Massachusetts face?
12 of the 1,211 documented cameras in Massachusetts have a recorded compass bearing. 4 face S, 3 face N, 2 face W, 1 face E. 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.
