Flock Cameras in North Dakota: Map, Locations & Count

North Dakota is thinly mapped so far: 557 ALPR cameras inside the state line, 436 of them with no operator recorded at all; West Fargo Police Department is the largest named operator with 53 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. Since 5 October 2026 the in-state count moved from 448 to 557 (+109).

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.

The top of the North Dakota table is West Fargo Police Department at 53. What matters for anyone reading the map is how long the tail is — 11 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.

Attribution is inferred from jurisdiction for 101 cameras and recorded directly for the rest. Counts are a floor: cameras appear on the map as people map them.

'Flock camera' is shorthand here, not the whole story: 23% of vendor-tagged cameras in North Dakota are Flock Safety, and Axis Communications accounts for 348. 10 cameras are unattributed to any vendor.

Mounts recorded for North Dakota: pole (22), street lamp (16). Bearing coverage is 87% — 482 cameras have a facing direction on the map, and those are the ones the avoidance layer can actually work with.
