Who is scanning, and where

The map shows 1,673 mapped cameras as dots. This is the same data as a list — by province, and by the organisation that operates them — so you can read it, search it, and trace every entry to the record it came from.

Counts are floors. This is crowdsourced OpenStreetMap data, not an official register: a camera missing here may still exist, and newly mapped is not newly installed. It also excludes vehicle-mounted ALPR entirely, which is where most Canadian plate reading actually happens. Data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), generated 2026-10-19.
