Which way North Carolina 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. 26 of the 3,921 documented cameras in North Carolina have a recorded bearing.
- N — 7
- NE — 3
- E — 5
- SE — 1
- S — 5
- SW — 3
- W — 1
- NW — 1
Bearings are rounded to the nearest of eight compass points. The 3,895 cameras without a recorded direction aren't counted here — that detail simply hasn't been tagged yet.
Camera vendors in North Carolina
- Flock Safety — 3,372 cameras
- Unknown vendor — 437 cameras
- Motorola/Vigilant — 47 cameras
- Genetec — 36 cameras
- Rekor — 29 cameras
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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina means these 3,921.
Common questions
Is there a Flock camera map for North Carolina?
Yes. FlockScanner maps 3,921 documented ALPR (automated license plate reader) camera locations in North Carolina, including Flock Safety cameras, as of October 20, 2026. That is 2.7% of all cameras documented nationally. Each is plotted with its vendor where recorded and, for 26 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 North Carolina?
3,921 as of October 20, 2026, spread across 74 cities with their own map page. This counts cameras volunteers have mapped, not every camera installed in North Carolina, so treat it as a floor rather than a total.
Which cities in North Carolina have the most Flock cameras?
By documented count, the North Carolina cities with the most mapped ALPR cameras are Charlotte (298), Raleigh (125), Winston-Salem (82), Mooresville (81), Gastonia (75). 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 North Carolina face?
26 of the 3,921 documented cameras in North Carolina have a recorded compass bearing. 7 face N, 5 face E, 5 face S, 3 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.
