Which way South 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. 17 of the 2,023 documented cameras in South Carolina have a recorded bearing.
- N — 2
- NE — 3
- E — 1
- SE — 3
- S — 4
- SW — 1
- W — 2
- NW — 1
Bearings are rounded to the nearest of eight compass points. The 2,006 cameras without a recorded direction aren't counted here — that detail simply hasn't been tagged yet.
Camera vendors in South Carolina
- Flock Safety — 1,846 cameras
- Unknown vendor — 116 cameras
- Motorola/Vigilant — 47 cameras
- Genetec — 7 cameras
- Rekor — 7 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 South 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 South Carolina means these 2,023.
Common questions
Is there a Flock camera map for South Carolina?
Yes. FlockScanner maps 2,023 documented ALPR (automated license plate reader) camera locations in South Carolina, including Flock Safety cameras, as of September 4, 2026. That is 1.5% of all cameras documented nationally. Each is plotted with its vendor where recorded and, for 17 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 South Carolina?
2,023 as of September 4, 2026, spread across 40 cities with their own map page. This counts cameras volunteers have mapped, not every camera installed in South Carolina, so treat it as a floor rather than a total.
Which cities in South Carolina have the most Flock cameras?
By documented count, the South Carolina cities with the most mapped ALPR cameras are Greenville (72), Columbia (62), Charleston (59), Florence (57), Fort Mill (56). 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 South Carolina face?
17 of the 2,023 documented cameras in South Carolina have a recorded compass bearing. 4 face S, 3 face NE, 3 face SE, 2 face N. 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.
