Flock cameras by zip code
Enter any US ZIP code to see how many documented Flock Safety and other ALPR cameras are mapped near it — within 3, 6 and 16 miles — plus the distance to the closest one.
Search cameras by ZIP code
Measured from the ZIP's centre point. Counts documented cameras only — see the caveats below.
What the ZIP search actually measures
ZIP codes aren't areas, which is the first thing worth knowing. USPS ZIP codes are mail delivery routes — a sequence of stops — not shapes on a map. The Census Bureau produces ZIP Code Tabulation Areas as an areal approximation so they can be mapped at all, and that's what this lookup uses.
Rather than pretend a ZIP has a crisp boundary, the search measures outward from the ZIP's centre point and counts documented cameras within 3, 6 and 16 miles. That's both more honest and more useful: what people want is cameras near a place, not cameras inside an administrative line they can't see.
Reading a zero
A ZIP returning zero documented cameras means no OpenStreetMap volunteer has mapped any there. It does not mean there are none. Rural and small-town ZIPs are systematically under-mapped precisely because there are fewer contributors, and Flock sells heavily to small departments.
If you know of cameras in an unmapped area, adding them to OpenStreetMap puts them on this map within about a day — see report a camera.

Common questions
How do I find Flock cameras by zip code?
Enter any 5-digit US ZIP code into the search box on FlockScanner's ZIP lookup page. It returns the number of documented ALPR cameras within 3, 6 and 16 miles of that ZIP's centre, the distance to the nearest one, and a link to the surrounding city's camera page. The counts are drawn from 138,636 camera locations mapped in OpenStreetMap and refreshed nightly.
How many Flock cameras are in my zip code?
It varies enormously — dense urban ZIPs can have dozens of documented cameras within a few miles, while rural ZIPs often show none. FlockScanner's ZIP lookup gives the documented count for any US ZIP code, but bear in mind it counts cameras volunteers have mapped, not every camera installed. A ZIP showing zero has not been shown to be camera-free; it may simply be unmapped.
Why does the lookup use a radius instead of the zip code boundary?
Because ZIP codes are not really areas. USPS ZIP codes are mail delivery routes, not polygons, and the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are an approximation built to make them mappable. Rather than imply a precision that doesn't exist, FlockScanner measures outward from the ZIP's centre point, which is honest about what it's doing and is also what most people actually want — cameras near a place, not cameras inside an administrative line.
Is the zip code camera search free?
Yes — free, no account, no signup. The camera data is OpenStreetMap data under the Open Database License, and FlockScanner republishes it as a map and a searchable directory.
Can I search Flock cameras by zip code outside the US?
The ZIP lookup covers US ZIP codes only, because it's built on US Census ZCTA data. Canadian postal codes aren't supported — see FlockScanner's Canada page for what coverage exists north of the border.
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.
