See every Flock camera and ALPR
before it sees you.

A Flock camera is an automatic license-plate reader (ALPR) made by Flock Safety: a solar- or pole-mounted camera that photographs every passing vehicle's plate, along with its make, model, and color, and logs the time and location. The images and metadata are stored and shared with police departments, HOAs, and businesses that subscribe to Flock's network. Peripheri maps known Flock cameras and alerts you when you're near one.

An ALPR is a camera system that automatically captures license plates and converts them to searchable text, building a time-stamped record of where a vehicle has been. Networks of ALPRs, from vendors like Flock Safety and Motorola, let operators track a car's movements across a city. Peripheri treats Flock ALPRs, other ALPRs, red-light and speed cameras, CCTV, and gunshot sensors as one combined awareness layer.

Yes. Peripheri is an iPhone app that maps known Flock Safety cameras and other surveillance cameras, and alerts you in real time as you approach one. It shows them on a map, on a live directional radar, and on a Lock Screen Live Activity. It's free to start, and unlike most alternatives it processes everything on your device.

Open Peripheri's map or radar to see the Flock cameras and other surveillance cameras around you, each color-coded by type. With protection on, you also get a proximity alert as you approach one, and a glanceable ring on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island showing how many cameras are in range and the nearest one's distance and direction.

No. Camera matching, proximity detection, and alerts all run entirely on your device, and your location is never part of any network request. The only network traffic is downloading the public camera dataset and, only if you opt in, Apple Maps routing, the radar road overlay, and reporting a camera you spot. Every request is listed in an in-app Network Log.

Flock Safety ALPR readers, other automatic license-plate readers, red-light and speed cameras, CCTV, and gunshot-detection sensors, all surfaced in one alert layer with each type color-coded. No other consumer app combines all of these in a single awareness view.

From a public, community-maintained dataset derived from OpenStreetMap. The data is signed and delivered to your device, and a request for it structurally cannot contain your location. You can also report cameras you spot to help keep it current.

Yes. Peripheri maps the locations of fixed camera hardware from public data and helps you stay aware of the surveillance around you. It does not track people or law-enforcement officers, and it does nothing to obscure or alter your vehicle or plate. It's a personal-awareness tool, like a map of public infrastructure.

The core app, meaning the map, proximity alerts, tunable sensitivity, and history, is free. Peripheri Pro unlocks the live radar, widgets, Live Activity, Apple Watch, and camera-avoidance route preview for $4.99 per year, or $14.99 as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Peripheri runs on iPhone with iOS 18 or later, with companion Home Screen widgets, a Dynamic Island Live Activity, and an Apple Watch app.
