A bunch of different websites have links to the cameras, but nobody (including the official City of Toronto website) seems to be able to agree where the cameras really are. Also, there's a bunch of cameras missing. So, I put a few hours in, drove around the city for a bit, and was able to find all the lost cameras. I've put together a Google Maps application that you can use to view all cameras.
