Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 13 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Loyola, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Loyola itself.
The rest sit in Los Altos (8), Los Altos Hills (4), Cupertino (1).
10 of them name an operator in the record: Los Altos Police Department (10). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Loyola
These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Loyola — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Loyola (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
