New camera registry program in the city.

The City operates with a current network of 1,955 cameras integrated in the program. Convenience stores, churches, retail shops, office buildings, and small businesses are all encouraged to register.

Registration takes less than 60 seconds and is done through a secure online portal.

The City is using a new software that tell us which cameras are up and down and provides us with AI based machine learning to inform us if there is a problem with a camera.

It categorizes cameras as being down, blocked field of view, tilted, blurry, low light/glare, as well as recorders not maintaining 30 days of storage.

This has been a game changer and example of how we used modern technology to automate a manual time-consuming task.
