Half of the gaps are shorter than 250 feet, and the middle half run from 150 feet to 650 feet.

A direction is recorded for 94% of the cameras here (80 of 85 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is southeast, with 15 cameras. A direction of exactly 0 is treated as not recorded, because that value is often left on a pin nobody set; that leaves out 5 cameras here.

The direction is the compass bearing a mapper noted for the camera, as it stood when they looked.

In Daly City, 35 of 85 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 41% of the cameras here.

• Public agency35 cameras
• Private0 cameras
• Camera company0 cameras
• Other0 cameras
• Not recorded50 cameras

The kinds are read from the operator names mappers typed. A name is counted as private only when it plainly belongs to a business, an association or another private owner; a name the rules cannot place is counted as other; and where no operator is recorded the camera is not assumed to be anybody’s. The method page sets out how a name is sorted into a kind.

Each distance is a straight line from a sample point to the nearest mapped camera of any make, and that camera can stand outside the boundary. The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
