Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 15 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Lyons, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 8 of them sit inside Lyons itself.
The rest sit in Vidalia (6).
15 of them name an operator in the record: Lyons GA (10), Vidalia GA (3), Lowe's (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
1 camera has no municipality recorded yet.

What’s watching Lyons
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 Lyons — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Lyons (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
