Flock & ALPR cameras in Utah
Public map data records 1,155 ALPR cameras inside Utah's borders as of 3 September 2026, run by 109 different operators. The densest cluster is West Valley City, at 583 mapped cameras. See every camera, which way it faces and its approximate capture zone — free, no account.
The 1,155 cameras mapped in Utah belong to 109 operators, with Salt Lake City Police Department at the top on 73. That makes the state widely spread by ALPR standards. Because these are counted inside the border rather than by metro box, the number is directly comparable with other states on this site. 250 of the 1,155 cameras carry no operator at all, so the operator shares above are shares of the attributed cameras.

There is a clear leader — Salt Lake City Police Department, 73 cameras — and then a long, flat tail of 108 other operators. Retail and private operators show up in the top twelve (Lowe's, The Home Depot), which is worth knowing: those cameras are not run by any police agency.
Attribution is inferred from jurisdiction for 786 cameras and recorded directly for the rest. Counts are a floor: cameras appear on the map as people map them.
It isn't all Flock in Utah
Vendor breakdown and direction coverage for the state's mapped cameras.
Flock Safety
892 cameras
Motorola Solutions
167 cameras
Genetec
32 cameras
Axis Communications
14 cameras
Reconyx
1 camera
Vendor tags exist for 1,108 of Utah's cameras, and Flock Safety takes 81% of those — but Motorola Solutions runs 167, which is why the map reads 'ALPR', not just 'Flock'.
Where a mount is recorded, Utah's cameras sit on: pole (229), street lamp (35), post (4), sign (2). 998 of the 1,155 cameras have a recorded facing direction, which is what makes route avoidance possible — a camera with no bearing shows on the map but can't be avoided with any precision.

The largest clusters are around West Valley City (583), Salt Lake City (532), Provo (327), Ogden (177), St. George (57). Smaller UT towns appear on the live map too — these are simply the biggest metro areas.

Can I avoid Flock cameras when driving in Utah?
BanditKin's navigation offers opt-in, field-of-view-aware camera avoidance with a strength slider, using the 998 Utah cameras that have a recorded facing direction. If no camera-free route exists it says so and falls back to the normal route. Preferring not to be logged by a commercial surveillance network is a privacy preference — the app uses public camera-location data.
