Syracuse Residents Take Initiative on Police Surveillance Funding
Tired of waiting for Syracuse, NY, police to install cameras in neighborhoods, residents are taking surveillance into their own hands,The Post-Standard reports.
Dennis Schwald Sr. put up four high-definition surveillance cameras three weeks ago, with plans for four more. The cameras capture the entire 300 block of Hartson Avenue in Skunk City, a Syracuse neighborhood. The $369 system, with infrared night vision, can be monitored from Schwald’s television in his living room, and a DVR records a month’s worth of footage. He can also access the video via smartphone, the article says.
