Volunteers have reported 34 automated license plate readers in and around Addison — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 35 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Addison, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 26 of them sit inside Addison itself.
The rest sit in Addison Township (3), Elmhurst (3), Wood Dale (2), Villa Park (1).
9 of them name an operator in the record: Addison Police Department (4), Wood Dale Police Department (4), Forest Preserve District of DuPage County (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
