The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in New Haven to the nearest other one in New Haven. Half of the gaps are shorter than 800 feet, and the middle half run from 450 feet to 0.2 miles. In New Haven, 20 of 129 cameras stand within 200 feet (60 metres) of another, which usually means two on one pole or a group at one intersection.

A direction is recorded for 64% of the cameras here (83 of 129 cameras).

Because 22 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 105 directions from 83 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 7 cameras here.

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

In New Haven, 109 of 129 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 84% of the cameras here.

• Public agency107 cameras
• Private2 cameras
• Camera company0 cameras
• Other0 cameras
• Not recorded20 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.
