The Biggest Flock Contracts on the Record

The tracker shows a contract amount only when a public record states it. These are the 10 largest documented. Terms differ, so each line notes the term where the record states it; the figures are not annualized.

What the largest deals have in common

3 things, and none of them is city size. First, they run long: DeKalb County, Georgia approved 18 million dollars over 10 years, so the headline figure covers a decade rather than a year. Second, they bundle: Huntington, West Virginia approved a 5-year package at 394,785 dollars the first year and 438,220 after, covering plate readers alongside audio detection, live video, and drone services. Third, they mix funds: Dallas resolution 25-0807 names 3 sources behind a 5,738,414-dollar cap, including a state catalytic converter grant and federal Homeland Security money.

Big numbers are not always big networks

Houston approved up to 6.4 million dollars for 318 leased cameras, while Fort Worth runs 278 cameras at about 2,000 dollars each per year from several funds at once. A lease bundles maintenance, software, and replacement that a purchase prices separately, so 2 cities with similar camera counts can sit far apart in dollars for reasons that have nothing to do with what either pays annually. The cost per camera page ranks what is documented and states the caveats first.

The largest ending is not the largest contract

Los Angeles let a 138-camera agreement lapse in June 2026, which is the biggest name to leave so far, and the department says it is renegotiating rather than walking away. Size does not decide durability; oversight does. Read every documented ending in the cancellations ledger.
