Huron County OPP launch CAMSafe program

(HURON COUNTY, ON) - The Huron County OPP has implemented the CAMSafe program, aimed at creating a database of residential and commercial security cameras within a community that may act as a resource for police when investigating offences/crime.

When police officers use the CAMSafe database, they will see a map of the local area. They 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 want to examine camera footage, they can make a request to the property owner, using contact information from the database.

Interested community members are required to provide only 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 view only their own information and can delete their account or change their information at any time.
