A direction is recorded for 34% of the cameras here (18 of 53 cameras).

The most common recorded directions are southeast and northwest, with 4 cameras each. A direction of exactly 0 is treated as not recorded, because that value is often left on a pin nobody set; that leaves out 3 cameras here.

The distance and area figures for Canton come from 6,808 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
