The CamSafe Program introduced by the South Bruce OPP has officially launched in the detachment area.
CAMSafe is a "database of registered residential and commercial security cameras within a community that may act as a resource for police when investigating offences and crime," a statement from the OPP read.
When officers access the CamSafe database, they will be able to see addresses voluntarily registered with the program to view further details, such as property owner contact information, all throughout the mapped out area.
Police can't access live feeds of registered cameras or cloud-based recording accounts. If an officer wants to access the registered camera recordings, they can reach out to the property owner directly to get access.
Any interested community members are only required to provide basic contact information and camera location but can include more details if desired, such as direction the camera faces, footage retention details or screenshots of the camera view.
Registrants can only view their own information and can delete their account or change their information at any time.
