A direction is recorded for 94% of the cameras here (59 of 63 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is south, 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 4 cameras here.

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

In Southfield, 63 of 63 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 100% of the cameras here.

• Public agency28 cameras
• Private27 cameras
• Camera company0 cameras
• Other8 cameras
• Not recorded0 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.
