Cameras in the Winston-Salem area by the year they entered the public record. The recent surge tracks a real, nationwide buildout of automatic plate readers — not a mapping artifact.

How these numbers are made. We count every camera on the open OpenStreetMap / DeFlock record within roughly 25 miles of Winston-Salem's center, then rank that metro against 170 others. Suburbs fold into their principal city, so each metro is counted once. "Added since 2024" uses the date a camera entered the public map — an approximation of when it was deployed, not an exact install date. The data is community-maintained and may be incomplete; figures describe what has been mapped, not a guarantee of every device present. Licensed ODbL. See something missing? Add it →
