Where they usually sit

EFF describes ALPRs on street poles, streetlights, highway overpasses, mobile trailers and police cars (EFF). Flock says HOAs typically place cameras at neighborhood entrances and exits (Flock). In practice, look at arterial roads, city limits and parking-lot exits. Spotting details: how to tell if a Flock camera is watching.

What a blank map means

No pins usually means the area has not been surveyed yet. Cameras can also be moved, removed or mistagged. Cross-check local contracts with a records request, and add missing hardware through DeFlock.
