Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 13 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Rochester Hills, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 11 of them sit inside Rochester Hills itself.
The rest sit in Auburn Hills (2).
12 of them name an operator in the record: Oakland County Sheriff's Office (8), Lowe's (2), Auburn Hills Police Department (1), Clean Express Auto Wash (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
