#Anomalies
#April 2026 spike
The week of April 13, 2026 shows 898 org searches — more than four times the typical weekly volume and the highest single org-search week in the dataset. Network reads that same week (230,502) fall within normal range, which makes a camera or data extraction artifact unlikely. No obvious explanation appears in the reason field data.
#Network data trailing off
The last three weeks of the network export (June 29 – July 20, 2026) show sharply lower counts: 68,216, 10,810, 9,677, and 859 compared to a steady weekly average above 200,000 in the preceding months. This likely reflects an incomplete export for July rather than an actual drop in camera activity.
