Public map data records 930 ALPR cameras inside Nevada's borders as of 3 September 2026, run by 38 different operators. Around Las Vegas the map records 599, the most of any NV metro. See every camera, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone — free, no account.
Nevada records 930 mapped plate readers across 38 operators. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department runs the largest share at 21%, ahead of Clark County Sheriff's Office on 83. Every count on this page is measured inside the state line, so it's a floor for the state — not an estimate stitched together from overlapping city boxes. 256 of the 930 cameras carry no operator at all, so the operator shares above are shares of the attributed cameras.

Las Vegas has a full page with operator, vendor and direction breakdowns; the other metros are covered by the live map. Each metro count is a box drawn around the city centre, which is why two nearby cities can share cameras and why these rows don't sum to the state figure.
