Berkeley is considering a new surveillance camera strategy to combat retail theft, as police report increasing creative crime methods. The revised proposal focuses on placing cameras strategically in commercial areas and downtown. It suggests switching from Edgeworth Integration to Flock Safety for camera provision, which would enhance compatibility with existing systems. Previous locations were often redundant due to the current automated license plate readers (ALPRs). The new strategy also aims to overcome logistical hurdles regarding installation, especially with city and state rights of way and compatibility with county utilities.
Berkeley's new surveillance camera proposal is designed to combat rising retail theft and streamline integration with its existing automated license plate reader system.
The shift from Edgeworth Integration to Flock Safety aims to enhance operational efficiency by leveraging solar power and utilizing existing utility poles for camera installations.
