Flock Radar

See Flock cameras before they see you.

A community map of automatic license-plate readers. Find them, mark them, and get warned on the drive.

How it works

  1. 01

    See what is around you

    The map loads about 138,000 public US ALPR locations from OpenStreetMap via DeFlock, plus community reports. Zoom in to pins. Opposite-facing cameras on the same pole stay separate.

  2. 02

    Report a camera

    Sign in, drop a pin, and the street fills in from the map. Nearby same-direction reports merge into one pin so the map stays clean.

  3. 03

    Drive with warnings

    Drive uses phone GPS. Voice calls out cameras ahead. You confirm a safety disclaimer first — mount the phone and keep your eyes on the road.

  4. 04

    Avoid on the way

    Pick a destination. Small jogs duck around a camera; major roads pick a thoroughfare with fewer readers. A slider sets how many cameras to skip.

  5. 05

    Stay signed in

    Gmail or email. Sessions stay on this phone until you sign out, so reporting and confirms are one tap.

In the app

Nationwide map

Public Flock Falcon, Condor, Sparrow, and other ALPR sites clustered as you zoom.

Community reports

Confirm still there, mark gone, add a note. Close duplicates consolidate.

Drive mode

Follow heading, 150–400 m radius, spoken street and distance. Safety disclaimer first.

Avoid routes

Jog around cameras or stay on major roads. Dial how many readers to skip.

Nearby alerts

System notifications while Drive or camera alerts are on. iPhone needs Home Screen install.

Stores

Apple App Store and Google Play listings need developer accounts and review. Until those are live, install from the phone: Safari or Chrome → Add to Home Screen. The map still works in the browser at Open the web app.
