Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A community-built map where people can document public-space cameras with photographs, locations, camera types, and optional notes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

Contributors identify a camera by uploading a photograph, assigning a location, choosing among listed camera types, and optionally adding notes or a handle. The form supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP, resizes images in the browser, and offers search, device location, or draggable pin placement. The page says submissions undergo review and that non-coordinate metadata is removed before upload; it also explicitly asks contributors to avoid identifiable people.
