FLOCK CAMERA MAP — DELAWARE

Flock Cameras in Delaware: Map, Locations & Count

As of 13 October 2026, 473 Flock and ALPR cameras are mapped inside Delaware's borders (318 tagged Flock Safety), run by 29 operators. Around Wilmington the map records 850, the most of any DE metro. See every camera on the live map below, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone. Free, no account.

Delaware's network is moderately concentrated: New Castle County Sheriff's Office runs 102 of the state's mapped cameras (22%), and the remaining 78% are split across 28 other agencies and businesses. Unlike metro-area counts, this figure is counted inside the state line, so nothing from neighbouring states leaks in. 150 of the 473 cameras carry no operator at all, so the operator shares above are shares of the attributed cameras. Since 5 October 2026 the in-state count moved from 462 to 473 (+11).

Private businesses appear too: of the cameras with a recorded operator type, 4 are privately operated.

Attribution is inferred from jurisdiction for 259 cameras and recorded directly for the rest. Counts are a floor: cameras appear on the map as people map them.
