It started with a personal interest in mapping surveillance in Bengaluru in the middle of 2019. I began mapping CCTV cameras in Bangalore on OSM. Initially, there were very few CCTV mappers. Now, I see so many OSM contributors mapping CCTVs. We are not officially or unofficially organized. We are just regular contributors to OSM, that's all. This page is my way of tracking the progress and a single source for work around it that I have gathered.
