Half of the gaps are shorter than 450 feet, and the middle half run from 150 feet to 0.3 miles. In Alpharetta, 33 of 123 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 97% of the cameras here (119 of 123 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is northeast, with 21 cameras. Because 1 camera carries two directions and is counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 120 directions from 119 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 4 cameras here.

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

The distance and area figures for Alpharetta come from 7,046 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
