Hi everyone, There have been a few projects in France on this issue, the most active I know of is www.sous-surveillance.net, which has specific subdomains for each city (and pretty cool stickers): http://paris.sous-surveillance.net http://lyon.sous-surveillance.net etc. People can add cameras and different details : location, type, who operates them, etc. There is also a similar project on OpenStreetMap and quite a few cameras are in the OSM database. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Key:Surveillance http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/surveillance#map I think in time, the plan was to merge the sous-surveillance data with the general OSM one, but I have no idea where that plan currently stands. I also recall seeing a similar project on Berlin a while back, but I can't find it right now. One question, when you say physical surveillance, are you thinking of anything beyond surveillance cameras? Guards? One last thing, you can sometimes find the location of city/state cameras in open data programmes. It's the case for Paris.
