Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 20 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Clarkston, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 2 of them sit inside Clarkston itself.
The rest sit in Independence Charter Township (14), Springfield Charter Township (4).
13 of them name an operator in the record: Bridge Valley HOA (6), Oakland County Sheriff's Office (6), HOA (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
