Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 16 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Franklin Park, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 11 of them sit inside Franklin Park itself.
The rest sit in River Grove (5).
4 of them name an operator in the record: Bowlero (4). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Franklin Park
