What state has the most CCTV?

Which state has the most CCTV cameras is hard to count exactly because most cameras are privately owned by homes and businesses and not centrally registered, but estimates based on security industry data, public camera networks, and population density suggest California has the most CCTV cameras in total numbers because it has largest population, most businesses, high tech industry, and many high security facilities, with millions of private and commercial cameras. For government surveillance cameras per capita, states with large urban centers like New York, Illinois, Texas, and Florida have high counts. Some studies focusing on public police cameras and traffic cameras rank Illinois high due to Chicago's extensive camera network. For residential security cameras per household, states with higher property crime or affluence like California, Texas, and Florida rank high due to adoption of Ring, Nest, and other smart cameras. When measuring CCTV per square mile, densely populated states like New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts have high density. Overall, California is generally considered state with most total cameras, while Illinois and New York often cited for most government surveillance cameras relative to population.
