Public map data records 621 ALPR cameras inside Oregon's borders as of 3 September 2026, run by 56 different operators. The densest cluster is Portland, at 267 mapped cameras. See every camera, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone — free, no account.
Oregon records 621 mapped plate readers across 56 operators. Eugene Police Department runs the largest share at 9%, ahead of Medford Police Department on 45. 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. 176 of the 621 cameras carry no operator at all, so the operator shares above are shares of the attributed cameras.

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 Oregon table is Eugene Police Department at 53. What matters for anyone reading the map is how long the tail is — 56 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, 18 are privately operated.
Attribution is inferred from jurisdiction for 331 cameras and recorded directly for the rest. Counts are a floor: cameras appear on the map as people map them.

Public map data records 621 ALPR cameras inside Oregon as of 3 September 2026, counted against the state boundary rather than by metro box. 425 of the vendor-tagged ones are Flock Safety. Treat it as a floor: cameras appear as people map them, and rural areas are thinly covered.
The largest clusters are around Portland (267), Salem (85), Medford (84), Eugene (81), Bend (18). Smaller OR towns appear on the live map too — these are simply the biggest metro areas.
Mostly municipal police and county sheriffs — 56 separate operators, led by Eugene Police Department (53). Private operators account for 18 of the cameras that carry an operator type.
No. Flock Safety is tagged on 425 of 531 vendor-recorded cameras (80%); Verkada accounts for 33, and 83 cameras have no vendor recorded at all. 'Flock camera' is the common name, but the map covers every ALPR it can find.
Yes, within limits. BanditKin routes around cameras whose facing direction is known — 530 of Oregon's 621 — with a slider for how hard to try, and it tells you honestly when no camera-free route exists. It is off by default and never sends your identity or location.
