Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The rest sit in Bloomingdale Township (5), Addison (3), Bloomingdale (2), Lombard (2), Glen Ellyn Countryside (1).

1 of them name an operator in the record: Forest Preserve District of DuPage County (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
