Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 2 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Ivy City, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Ivy City itself.

The rest sit in Washington (2).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Metropolitan Police Department (1), Simon Property Group (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
