It won't work. First, most of the cameras will be undetectable. Second, in most cases cameras will be in the view of other cameras. Anyone showing too much interest in the cameras will be suspected as a possible terrorist or thief planning an operation or heist.

Get your head right. You must learn to love Big Brother, Winston.

Some of them will be "undetectable" but many others will not. I do not propose that such a site would have the goal of being perfect and exhaustive. Jus' doin' the bes' we can.

As for 'showing too much interest', I am not sure. It only takes a moment to glance at the camera, look at your Garmin, and note the coordinates and particulars. One advantage that the surveilled have over the surveillors is that they can't watch everywhere at once with the same focus of attention. Machines are not (yet) capable of such automated surveillance.

Apropos of nothing, I often wonder why nobody sneaks up on the "red light" cameras in the dark of night and hoodwinks 'em (put a bag over it, or paint the lens black). It would be possible to do this without being identified (think it through). I thought the Discordians would do something like this. Maybe they're occupied at the moment.

Cameras are wired to a central viewer. No need to find the cameras, list the storage and viewing locs.
