Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 51 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Lawrence, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 27 of them sit inside Lawrence itself.

The rest sit in Indianapolis (23).

1 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

1 camera has no municipality recorded yet.
