Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 13 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Sawyerwood, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Sawyerwood itself.

The rest sit in Akron (13).

6 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (4), Akron PD (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
