1 of them name an operator in the record: Dodge County (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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