How much of Cheyenne is near one
- Within a quarter mile of a mapped camera11% of the area
- Within half a mile of a mapped camera31% of the area
Both figures are shares of the area inside the boundary of Cheyenne: the part that lies within 400 metres (about a quarter mile) and within 800 metres (about half a mile) of a mapped camera, wherever that camera stands. They describe distance to a pin and nothing else. In the median place measured nationwide, 46% of the area inside the boundary lies within half a mile of a mapped camera.

The most common recorded direction is northeast, with 9 cameras. Because 1 camera carries two directions and is counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 29 directions from 28 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 1 camera here.
The direction is the compass bearing a mapper noted for the camera, as it stood when they looked.

How these figures are worked out
The distance and area figures for Cheyenne come from 10,352 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
Questions about this page
What does “typical distance” mean for Cheyenne?
It is a median, not the distance from any one address. Of the 10,352 sample points inside Cheyenne, half are closer to a mapped camera than 0.8 miles and half are farther. For the cameras nearest to a spot you care about, check that address itself.
Why is a camera I have seen not counted here?
Most likely nobody has added it to OpenStreetMap, which is where every pin on this site comes from. That makes each count on this page a floor: the cameras somebody has mapped, and no others. Add the camera there and it shows up here after the next refresh, which runs once a week.
Why does the title say “Flock & Other” and not just “Flock”?
All 29 mapped cameras here are recorded as Flock Safety’s. The page still says “other” because a count of mapped cameras is a floor: one that nobody has mapped yet could be another maker’s.
