Flock & ALPR cameras in Georgia
Public map data records 9,909 ALPR cameras inside Georgia's borders as of 3 September 2026, run by 380 different operators. The Atlanta area alone accounts for 4,345 of them. See every camera, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone — free, no account.
The 9,909 cameras mapped in Georgia belong to 380 operators, with Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office at the top on 398. That makes the state widely spread by ALPR standards. Because these are counted inside the border rather than by metro box, the number is directly comparable with other states on this site. 2,719 of the 9,909 cameras carry no operator at all, so the operator shares above are shares of the attributed cameras.

Attribution is inferred from jurisdiction for 6,922 cameras and recorded directly for the rest. Counts are a floor: cameras appear on the map as people map them.

Public map data records 9,909 ALPR cameras inside Georgia as of 3 September 2026, counted against the state boundary rather than by metro box. 8,947 of the vendor-tagged ones are Flock Safety. Treat it as a floor: cameras appear as people map them, and rural areas are thinly covered.
Which cities in Georgia have Flock cameras?
The largest clusters are around Atlanta (4,345), Savannah (459), Augusta (367), Athens (342), Macon (316), Columbus (246). Smaller GA towns appear on the live map too — these are simply the biggest metro areas.
Who operates ALPR cameras in Georgia?
Mostly municipal police and county sheriffs — 380 separate operators, led by Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office (398). Private operators account for 58 of the cameras that carry an operator type.
Are all the plate readers in Georgia made by Flock?
No. Flock Safety is tagged on 8,947 of 9,326 vendor-recorded cameras (96%); Genetec accounts for 158, and 582 cameras have no vendor recorded at all. 'Flock camera' is the common name, but the map covers every ALPR it can find.
Can I avoid Flock cameras when driving in Georgia?
BanditKin's opt-in avoidance uses each camera's approximate capture zone, so it works best where bearings are recorded (90% of Georgia's cameras). When a clean route isn't possible it falls back to the normal one rather than pretending. It is a privacy preference built on public data, not a way to evade law enforcement.
