Camera density as columns. Taller means more cameras in that area.

3D skyline
The skyline groups cameras into areas about 30 miles across and raises a column for each one: the taller and brighter, the more cameras reported there. Hold right-click (or two fingers on a phone) to tilt and turn it.
For 3D at street level — buildings, and a cone for every camera — press Previous to Camera vision. For counties in 3D, coloured by cameras per resident, go to Per capita.

About this map
- What does the height mean?
- The number of cameras reported in that hexagon, on a square-root scale so small towns stay visible next to big cities.
