NYCHA'S GOT 8,090 SECURITY CAMERAS

SECURITY CAMERAS INSTALLATION UPDATE

As part of NYCHA's comprehensive plan to make public housing developments safer, it is on track to roll out wide-ranging security enhancements that include Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance cameras at 86 developments by the end of 2013; a complete list is below. NYCHA's Layered Access Control includes modern intercoms, wireless key fobs, technologically advanced cameras and vandalism-resistant doors as a supplement to CCTV cameras. NYCHA does not have the funding to install these systems at all of its developments, but will install them where elected officials have allocated discretionary funding for security measures. Since the inception of the CCTV surveillance program in 1997, NYCHA has installed 8,090 security surveillance cameras of varying scale at 691 buildings in 125 developments citywide.
