How close is the nearest camera

Half of the points sampled inside San Marino are closer to a mapped camera than 850 feet, and half are farther: that median is the typical distance. Nine sampled points in ten are within 0.3 miles of one.

  • San Marino: typical distance850 feet
  • Median of the 353 places measured in California0.4 miles
  • Median of the 2,395 places measured nationwide0.5 miles
  • San Marino: nine points in ten are within0.3 miles

Across the 353 places measured in California, the median typical distance is 0.4 miles. Across the 2,395 places measured nationwide, it is 0.5 miles. The typical distance in San Marino is shorter than both.

How much of San Marino is near one

  • Within a quarter mile of a mapped camera81% of the area
  • Within half a mile of a mapped camera100% of the area

Both figures are shares of the area inside the boundary of San Marino: the part that lies within 400 metres (about a quarter mile) and within 800 metres (about half a mile) of a mapped camera, wherever that camera stands. They describe distance to a pin and nothing else. In the median place measured nationwide, 46% of the area inside the boundary lies within half a mile of a mapped camera. The shares are rounded to whole percents, so 100% can stand for anything from 99.5% of the area inside the boundary upward.

The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in San Marino to the nearest other one in San Marino. Half of the gaps are shorter than 600 feet, and the middle half run from 400 feet to 0.2 miles. In San Marino, 6 of 42 cameras stand within 200 feet (60 metres) of another, which usually means two on one pole or a group at one intersection.

The most common recorded directions are east and west, with 8 cameras each. A direction of exactly 0 is treated as not recorded, because that value is often left on a pin nobody set.

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

Who is recorded as running them

In San Marino, 25 of 42 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 60% of the cameras here.

  • Public agency25 cameras
  • Private0 cameras
  • Camera company0 cameras
  • Other0 cameras
  • Not recorded17 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.

How these figures are worked out

The distance and area figures for San Marino come from 987 sample points, laid 100 metres apart across the area inside its boundary.

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.

Questions about this page

What does “typical distance” mean for San Marino?

It is a median, not the distance from any one address. Of the 987 sample points inside San Marino, half are closer to a mapped camera than 850 feet and half are farther. For the cameras nearest to a spot you care about, check that address itself.

Why is a camera I have seen not counted here?

Most likely nobody has added it to OpenStreetMap, which is where every pin on this site comes from. That makes each count on this page a floor: the cameras somebody has mapped, and no others. Add the camera there and it shows up here after the next refresh, which runs once a week.

How to add or correct a pin

Why does the title say “Flock & Other” and not just “Flock”?

Flock Safety is the recorded maker of 93% of the mapped cameras here (39 of 42 cameras). A page on this site names Flock only where that share is 60% or more, and says “other” because the rest are not recorded as Flock’s.
