Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 24 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Hudson, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 20 of them sit inside Hudson itself.
The rest sit in Town of Hudson (3), Town of Troy (1).
17 of them name an operator in the record: Hudson Police Department (14), The Home Depot (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Hudson
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 Hudson — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Hudson (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
