Add Your Camera to the Map
The registry map shows law enforcement all of the registered private cameras where law enforcement may request video footage from the community. By providing your contact information and the location of your surveillance cameras to the registry, detectives will be able contact you if there is ever a crime reported in your area. You will be able to send footage using a secure link to quickly provide detectives with valuable information. There is no direct connection to the RTCC and your footage remains private unless you decide to share it with investigators. The registry map is the recommended option for residences.
Email Us to Link Your Camera to the RTCC
Integrating your camera connections with the RTCC saves crucial time and offers virtual patrols, providing faster and more accurate responses in your area. Without integrating your video surveillance system, investigators need to spend time requesting footage. When crime happens near you, quickly and easily get your video straight to detectives and help solve crimes in your neighborhood. Real-time integration is the recommended option for businesses.
Camera systems must be compatible with the Real Time Crime Center system. Your current camera system may be used if it is compatible. Also, simply updating your network video recorder (NVR) with a compatible unit will allow integration. Installing Stratocast brand, cloud-based cameras that are compatible will allow you to participate without making changes to your existing system. Community Connect will provide support on installation requirements and check for and acquire compatible equipment.
Real-time integration requires a high-speed internet connection at the location of the camera.
Albuquerque Community Connect Camera Registry has replaced the SCAN network. Current SCAN participants are invited to partner with Albuquerque Community Connect Camera Registry, providing convenience and saving time by no longer needing to meet with a police officer or detective to provide footage.
