There's a report on the Perseids as detected by the UKMON subset of the GMN cameras here:

https://archive.ukmeteors.co.uk/reports/2022/PER/index.html

This year, 130 cameras detected 7299 confirmed Perseids around the UK. The average track length was about 20km, and the average duration was 0.2 seconds while average visual magnitude was about 1.0. The shower peak was on the night of 12/13th August.

About 60,000 detections were tentatively reported as Perseids. Of those, about 43,000 were matched up with detections from other cameras. One meteor was detected by 29 cameras!
