Which way New York 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. 28 of the 4,423 documented cameras in New York have a recorded bearing.

N — 4
NE — 4
E — 5
SE — 6
S — 2
SW — 4
W — 3

Bearings are rounded to the nearest of eight compass points. The 4,395 cameras without a recorded direction aren't counted here — that detail simply hasn't been tagged yet.

Camera vendors in New York

Flock Safety — 1,989 cameras
Unknown vendor — 1,693 cameras
Genetec — 311 cameras
Motorola/Vigilant — 237 cameras
Rekor — 193 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 New York 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 New York means these 4,423.

Common questions

That is 3.2% of all cameras documented nationally. Each is plotted with its vendor where recorded and, for 28 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 New York?

4,423 as of September 4, 2026, spread across 49 cities with their own map page. This counts cameras volunteers have mapped, not every camera installed in New York, so treat it as a floor rather than a total.

Which cities in New York have the most Flock cameras?

By documented count, the New York cities with the most mapped ALPR cameras are New York (986), Pelham Manor (119), Buffalo (98), Mount Vernon (79), Syracuse (61).

Which way do Flock cameras in New York face?

28 of the 4,423 documented cameras in New York have a recorded compass bearing. 6 face SE, 5 face E, 4 face N, 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.
