Every figure above counts records in our database, not cameras. A community that isn't listed simply has no verified record currently in our database — that is never evidence that cameras are absent. Agencies also add and cancel contracts faster than public datasets update.
Camera counts, prices, retention and sharing policies appear only where we found a primary source. Browse those in the Flock Files, or send us a record we're missing.
