Which way Virginia 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. 25 of the 3,433 documented cameras in Virginia have a recorded bearing.

Bearings are rounded to the nearest of eight compass points. The 3,408 cameras without a recorded direction aren't counted here — that detail simply hasn't been tagged yet.

Camera vendors in Virginia

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 Virginia 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 Virginia means these 3,433.

Common questions

Is there a Flock camera map for Virginia?

Yes. FlockScanner maps 3,433 documented ALPR (automated license plate reader) camera locations in Virginia, including Flock Safety cameras, as of September 4, 2026. That is 2.5% of all cameras documented nationally. Each is plotted with its vendor where recorded and, for 25 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 Virginia?

3,433 as of September 4, 2026, spread across 32 cities with their own map page. This counts cameras volunteers have mapped, not every camera installed in Virginia, so treat it as a floor rather than a total.

Which cities in Virginia have the most Flock cameras?

By documented count, the Virginia cities with the most mapped ALPR cameras are Norfolk (214), Portsmouth (201), Virginia Beach (184), Richmond (149), Chesapeake (136). 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 Virginia face?

25 of the 3,433 documented cameras in Virginia have a recorded compass bearing. 9 face S, 6 face E, 3 face N, 3 face SE. 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 Virginia

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.
