Countywide Address Management System (CAMS) – Home
This page is dedicated to providing information and updates for the Countywide Address Management System (CAMS), a system designed to enhance the County’s efforts to maintain address information in the County. CAMS was created to redesign and expand the current address data model to support a wider variety of location information, including address points and landmarks, that better meets the County’s needs and more accurately represents the real world.
Using the latest GIS technology, CAMS will:
- Provide full support for distributed, multi-user editing of CAMS data,
- Allow CAMS to be easily ported to other departments, cities, and agencies in the County,
- Encourage wider interdepartmental maintenance and usage of CAMS street centerline and address data as a shared resource, and consequently
- Integrate and streamline many redundant data sets and work flows that exist throughout the County.
CAMS was setup by several County departments with the project lead being the Registrar Recorder/County Clerk (RRCC). RRCC is now responsible for maintenance of the system while a steering committee works to guide the system along and to get wider adoption from more County departments and other cities/agencies in Los Angeles County.
