Ratings and reviews

Inaccurate. There are 2 in my area that it does not show. 2 more that shows facing each other in the middle of the woods. the map takes for ever to load. if you have it on satellite, the road names disappear.

Excellent app to share where u find these cameras or make u aware of there locations . its community based so the more people contribute the better it is ! the developer also communicates great

Makes it super easy to see where flock cameras and gunshot detectors and other brands and types of surveillance infrastructure are, and to contribute new data to the OpenStreetMaps database (the Wikipedia of maps).
