Camera Guide

What to Watch For

Keep on the lookout for ALPR cameras around our community! We want to document as many of these systems as possible.

The City of Eugene has a contract with Flock Safety, so we expect most of the devices to be Flock cameras. Unfortunately, video captured from ANY camera can be uploaded into the Flock system. So, any police accessible camera COULD be a ALPR camera.

Other Kinds Of Cameras / Sensors

Traffic Sensors

Used to detect the presence of vehicles at the intersection, which will trigger the light changing. These come in both straight video camera, or infrared cameras.

Priority / Preemption Signals

Used to detect emergency vehicles and change the light to assist emergency services.

Network Equipment

Traffic lights are part of a much broader network use to manage traffic. This creates the need for everything to be linked together either by hard network lines or wirelessly.
