There have been many incidents lately where, if not for security cameras installed nearby, the outcomes would have been completely different.
Security cameras are crucial as they directly affect how police determine to handle situations, help locate missing persons, track down and identify perpetrators, and capture high-profile incidents on film. Additionally, these cameras have been instrumental in solving various high-profile cases, including hate crimes, arsons, armed robberies, and murders.
Over the last 2 years, Crown Heights Shmira has successfully built a network of security cameras throughout the Crown Heights neighborhood. This initiative includes generating a database of contacts for camera access, repairing systems to restore functionality, and installing cameras in strategic locations with remote access. The results have been so rewarding that the dynamics of a Shmira call and post-crime responses have shifted. Crown Heights Shmira now has a powerful new tool to combat crime in our neighborhood.
After a lengthy process, Shmira was able to secure a private grant and donors to expand the project and take it to the next level.
With these funds now available, Shmira has partnered with a local security company, N.Y. Volt, to offer subsidized camera system installations for your home, shul, or business. This limited-time offer provides a discount of up to 40% off the full security camera installation, enhancing your home’s security while contributing to a safer Crown Heights.
How it works:
Your cameras will be fully installed, with Shmira having access only to the exterior cameras.

these people are not scared of cameras. there will still be endless crime in CH. find a better solution please.
And also a huge help to get much needed info in a variety of situations
Guess who else gets all that info?
The government
Are you sure you want them knowing every time you come or go, where you went, for how long, and who came to visit and is associated with you.
Hmmm
Think
Be smart ppl
For porch pirates – leave exploding packages on the porch. Later during the night, you hear: Pop goes the weasel.
It can only help.
How so?
There’s no will to fight crime
Why the push and free $ for surveillance?
This is a beutiful gesture, and will save residents and business’s allot of money for this security, we have to do our part and daven to the aibeshter to watch over us.
Thank you shmira, for all you do, and thanks to the generous donor.
You clearly don’t understand the concept of cameras
Oh I sure do
It’s called surveillance
Not of the criminals but of you
If the city wanted to fight crime it would be over in a new York minute.
They don’t obviously.
Now ask yourself why.
This is not the government arranging it… Actually being arranged by an organization existing because of the government’s failure…
You missed my point.
Anything sent remotely (not hardwired) can and are easily hacked and accessed by the government.
The local police work closely with the corrupt federal FBI.
Can’t make the cure worse than the disease.

THEY WILL ONLY DO IT IF YOU LIVE IN THE HEART OF CH
Is this a fact? Did you ask and they rejected you? If yes can you post the block you live on?
I’m not in the “heart” and they are happy to help me
I live on Rutland and reached out, they were happy to take care of me
Lol you “live on rutland ”
Is that not the “heart of ch” these days??
I sure think it is.
Amazing initiative!
Thank you!
People like you are no help. All you do is criticize. You want a better solution? Think of one and share it! your motto is yagatta u’matzata i.e. YOU do the work; that’s not exactly what the passuk says. Direct your criticism towards yourself, please and stop being so negative. Sure cameras won’t solve all crimes, but they certainly help. Here’s a good place to start: New York lawmakers need to outlaw the wearing of masks by people who don’t need to be wearing them except on doctors’ orders , and such masked people need to be able to produce… Read more »
Thank you for everything you do!
Excellent step. Thank you.
I salute this effort and the donor. It’s a frustrating step though, since we know getting the police to apprehend and the system to prosecute is a huge hurdle, and then even if prosecuted and convicted, there’s no rehabilitation track, so they either become hardened criminals or face no real consequences and are happy to try again. Stopping crime seems to be only the very long term play of re-educating from the babytime up, and that ain’t gonna happen soon enough
A quicker education tool might just be the age old,a por petch.
They didn’t have these problems back in the day
Not in the 1950s
And not under Giuliani
why don’t we as a community hire a private team of security.
if we all together pay a few bucks monthly we will have feet on the ground.
people on the streets all the time.
its not the ultimate solution but it will definitely help.
It’s called the second amendment which was gutted.
Everything we earn gets taxed, ditto everything we buy, even who we hire or the house we already payed off.
None of those taxes are used on the things that matter to us.
That is taxation without representation.
This country was not founded to be another nanny state.
Giving them direct access to cameras, even exterior, is an invasion of privacy and an automatic dealbreaker. Sending footage over should something happen is ok, direct access is not.
The feds will have access to all the remote cameras. Maybe that’s the motive for not prosecuting crime? Make life miserable enough that we’ll come begging. And willing to give up our privacy and anonymity for safety. Remember how the TSA began and it’s here to stay. Hasn’t stopped a single terrorist but sure did force us through full body scans and invasive pat downs. We need government out of our pockets and out of our lives. We can very quickly solve the crime ourselves. Let us decide exactly what and how we want to spend our own taxes (hint:… Read more »
