I read an article in the local paper here in Chandler, AZ that the city pays the company who installs and maintains the cameras $19 per usable photo.

Also I understand the mobile vans painted in police colors with the cameras are actually operated and placed there by employees of the camera installation company and the vans are just painted that way to identify what they are and also to keep someone from stealing or vandalizing them.

Finally, the police are installing cameras to watch the cameras to identify camera vandalizers (or as some refer to them, freedom fighters).
