Know your cams: Axis Communications
If you have a human face, a body, clothes covering that body, drive a car, truck, bus or bike, these cameras can probably track your movements.
The following is a list of all Axis Communications brand cameras the city of Chicopee procured in 2024 and 2025. My source for this information is a spreadsheet provided by the city of Chicopee. This post serves as a sort of appendix or footnote to my reporting for TheShoestring.org available here: https://theshoestring.org/2025/07/24/surveillance-state-comes-to-chicopee/
A link to the datasheet is included for each camera. Images were checked manually, and are copyright Axis Communications. I believe my educational use here is within the bounds of fair use, but if Axis wishes I can replace their stock photos with the ones I took in the field with a sketchily balanced selfie stick instead. Please email jon.gerhardson@proton.me with any questions.
