Flock & ALPR cameras in Macon, GA

The operator table is headed by Bibb County Sheriff's Office at 110 cameras (35%), then Warner Robins Police Department at 40. Beyond the top of the table it is a long tail: 18 separate operators in all, ranking Macon 142nd of 251 on operator count.

Private businesses appear on Macon's map: The Home Depot (2), Amelia Place Homeowners Association (1) sit inside the twenty largest operators, and of the cameras with a recorded operator type, 2 are privately run rather than public. Those cameras are not run by any police agency, though their reads can be shared.

For the thing that actually matters when routing, Macon is well documented: 279 of its 316 mapped cameras — 88% — record which way they face, ranking 165th of 251 on bearing coverage.

Public records cover 2 agencies around Macon in the EFF Atlas of Surveillance against 18 operators on the map — the difference between a records project and a mapping project, not a contradiction.

Sheriff's offices are prominent: Bibb County Sheriff's Office and Houston County Sheriff's Office sit in the top twelve, alongside municipal forces such as Warner Robins Police Department, Perry Police Department, Gray Police Department.

Read from the live map on 3 September 2026. The underlying records are OpenStreetMap entries plus community submissions — nobody who operates a camera is obliged to declare it, so these are the documented minimum rather than the full picture. The metro is a box roughly 50 miles across centred on Macon.

Macon ranks 125th of the 251 metro areas BanditKin tracks by mapped cameras, between Provo, UT and Fresno, CA, and 142nd by operator count.

Ranked against the 251 metro areas BanditKin tracks, every one read from the live map on 3 September 2026. Metro areas are drawn as a box around the city centre, so neighbouring metros can share cameras and these counts must never be added together.

These are all 18 operators. Where OpenStreetMap names an operator we use that name; otherwise the camera is attributed to whichever jurisdiction it stands in (219 cameras here), which is a sound inference rather than a confirmed fact. 82 cameras record no operator of any kind.

Manufacturer is a free-text field, so spellings and legal names have been consolidated here. 5 of 316 mapped cameras name no manufacturer at all, which makes the actual distribution broader than shown. These count cameras on the map, not purchase orders.

They are easy to miss and hard to unsee — a small rectangular box on a narrow pole near a junction, generally with a solar panel and a stubby barrel lens. Where the data records how a camera around Macon is mounted, the split is:

One camera covers one approach, so its heading is what decides which journeys end up recorded. Around Macon the mapped bearings distribute like this:
