Flock Cameras in Idaho: Map, Locations & Count

Idaho's network is widely spread: Meridian Police Department runs 51 of the state's mapped cameras (10%), and the remaining 90% are split across 39 other agencies and businesses. Unlike metro-area counts, this figure is counted inside the state line, so nothing from neighbouring states leaks in. 222 of the 500 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 495 to 500 (+5).

Metro rows come from a box around each city centre; they overlap where cities adjoin and can include cameras just over a state line. Use them to compare cities, and use the in-state total above for the state.

The top of the Idaho table is Meridian Police Department at 51. What matters for anyone reading the map is how long the tail is — 40 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, 2 are privately operated.

Names are drawn from OpenStreetMap tags, falling back to the jurisdiction the camera sits in (256 of 500 here). A camera's operator is not always the body that paid for it.

'Flock camera' is shorthand here, not the whole story: 78% of vendor-tagged cameras in Idaho are Flock Safety, and Motorola Solutions accounts for 54. 15 cameras are unattributed to any vendor.

The map knows which way 79% of Idaho's cameras face (394 of 500). Mounts, where recorded: street lamp (44), pole (30), post (1).
