An interactive German prototype helps people document cameras in public space, identify possible operators, and prepare privacy-related letters.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.
For
People documenting cameras in public space
Worth noticing
Entries remain private, photos stay local, and the site warns that a camera marker proves neither field of view nor a legal violation.

Field notes

The interface separates observation from conclusion: users record a location, date, sign information, and what they actually saw before identifying an operator. Photos can be attached in common formats up to 8 MB, but the page says they remain local and advises avoiding faces and license plates. Its letter workflow produces editable drafts for self-directed contact rather than automatic reports.
