It seems the DeFlock website is offline (as of posting this). I know Flock sent a cease-and-desist letter in the past, so did it get its way; or is it simply a hosting issue? Anyone having more information regarding this?

Update: the website appears to be online once more, and the downtime likely hosting-related.

    If memory serves, deflock is effectively just a front end of all the data amassed on open street maps for these types of cameras and such.

    Im not sure what the situation is of course, but it’s worth knowing that as long as that data remains, deflock can be rebuilt to show just the camera data once again.

    Obviously though, id prefer that to not be the case and maybe the device hosting just needed a nap or upgrade.

      That’s correct, I’ve also added some ALPRs to OSM; which is why I decided to check it once more. There’s other websites, which also render ALPRs (alongside other surveillance POIs) on a map. However, DeFlock’s is the most clear for ALPRs in specific, at least for what I’ve seen, and also providing information on the subject. I simply noticed it being offline, and figured it might be relevant to the community.
