The provincial police detachment in Nipigon has implemented the CAMSafe Program.
The initiative’s goal is to create a database of residential and commercial security cameras in a community that can be used as a police resource when they are investigating crimes.
Officers can access the database, and it will show them a map of the area and what locations have granted CAMSafe permission to use their cameras.
Officers can click on registered addresses to view further details, such as property owner contact information.
Officers cannot access your security cameras or cloud-based accounts.
If police would like to examine camera footage, they can make a request to the property owner using contact information from the database.
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.
