Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 33 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Monte Sereno, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 10 of them sit inside Monte Sereno itself.

The rest sit in Los Gatos (11), Saratoga (9).

17 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (9), Los Gatos/Monte Sereno Police Department (8). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
