FLOCK CAMERA MAP — FLORIDA

Flock Cameras in Florida: Map, Locations & Count

As of 13 October 2026, 10,013 Flock and ALPR cameras are mapped inside Florida's borders (7,659 tagged Flock Safety), run by 377 operators. Fort Lauderdale leads the state's metros with 1,509. See every camera on the live map below, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone. Free, no account.

Florida's network is widely spread: Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office runs 204 of the state's mapped cameras (2%), and the remaining 98% are split across 376 other agencies and businesses. Unlike metro-area counts, this figure is counted inside the state line, so nothing from neighbouring states leaks in. 2,707 of the 10,013 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 9,536 to 10,013 (+477).

The headline figure is counted inside the border and is the honest state total.

WHO RUNS THEM

The largest ALPR operators in Florida

Collier County Sheriff's Office

The top of the Florida table is Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 204. What matters for anyone reading the map is how long the tail is — 377 operators in total, so most cameras belong to agencies that individually run only a handful. Private businesses appear too: of the cameras with a recorded operator type, 199 are privately operated.

Names are drawn from OpenStreetMap tags, falling back to the jurisdiction the camera sits in (6,433 of 10,013 here). A camera's operator is not always the body that paid for it.

Can I avoid Flock cameras when driving in Florida?

BanditKin's navigation offers opt-in, field-of-view-aware camera avoidance with a strength slider, using the 8,767 Florida cameras that have a recorded facing direction. If no camera-free route exists it says so and falls back to the normal route. Preferring not to be logged by a commercial surveillance network is a privacy preference — the app uses public camera-location data.
