Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 8 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Batavia, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Batavia itself.
The rest sit in City of Batavia (6), Town of Batavia (2).
4 of them name an operator in the record: Batavia Police Department (4). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Batavia
These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Batavia — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Batavia (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
