Flock & ALPR cameras in New Hampshire

New Hampshire is thinly mapped so far: 77 ALPR cameras inside the state line, 9 of them with no operator recorded at all; New Hampshire Bureau of Turnpikes is the largest named operator with 52 cameras. Treat every figure here as a floor: cameras appear on the map as people map them, and sparsely populated states are mapped last. The count is still measured inside the state boundary, so it is directly comparable with every other state on this site.

Nashua, Manchester show more cameras than the whole state because their boxes reach across the state line. Metro figures are read as bounding boxes around each city centre, so neighbouring metros can overlap and the boxes reach past city limits — never add them up. The state total above is counted inside the state boundary instead, which is why it is the number to quote.

There is a clear leader — New Hampshire Bureau of Turnpikes, 52 cameras — and then a long, flat tail of 10 other operators. Sheriff's offices are prominent: Rockingham County Sheriff's Office, Merrimack County Sheriff's Office both sit in the top eight.

Names are drawn from OpenStreetMap tags, falling back to the jurisdiction the camera sits in (13 of 77 here). A camera's operator is not always the body that paid for it.

'Flock camera' is shorthand here, not the whole story: 91% of vendor-tagged cameras in New Hampshire are Flock Safety, and Motorola Solutions accounts for 1. 54 cameras are unattributed to any vendor.

The map knows which way 86% of New Hampshire's cameras face (66 of 77). Mounts, where recorded: pole (58).
