In Dickinson, 136 of 138 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 63% of the cameras here (87 of 138 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is east, with 32 cameras. Because 2 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 89 directions from 87 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 26 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 Dickinson come from 3,415 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
