Flock Camera
Flock cameras in Iowa
780 documented licence plate readers across 63 Iowa cities and towns, of which 733 are tagged as Flock Safety equipment.
86 of them sit outside any town boundary — on county roads, interstate ramps and rural junctions between municipalities. That is why the state total is larger than the sum of the towns below.
