Waze guesses. Flashr verifies. We maintain an editorially-managed database of Canadian fixed cameras — sourced from municipal open data, deduplicated, and confirmed location by location.
This is the thing every other app gets wrong. Flashr's data is sourced, verified, and decayed on a schedule, so the alert you get is one you can trust.
Automated scrapers check municipal open-data portals — Edmonton, Calgary, ICBC, Winnipeg, Toronto — on a weekly schedule and normalize every record.
Every ingested camera is spot-checked against the map before it goes live. Flagged entries hit an editorial review queue, not the public map.
Community reports of mobile patrols carry a confidence score and expire automatically. A weighting algorithm cross-references reporter reputation and corroboration.
Gaps are filled with FOIP/ATIP requests, manual verification drives in key corridors, and weighted community reports over time.
