Live View Technologies gave Millville commissioners a demonstration on Sept. 11 of mobile and fixed camera systems the company proposes for downtown and parks. Mike Santoro, a company representative, described solar-powered trailers with pan-tilt-zoom cameras and a fixed “donut” camera with multiple lenses that can cover an intersection.
“Our mobile solution is solar powered, self sustainable, does not require any hardwiring or added infrastructure,” Santoro said, adding that a trailer can be hitched and operational in “10, 15 minutes.” He told the commission the company’s offering is not an automatic license-plate-reader product: “LVT is not an ALPR company…we do not use their technology.” Santoro said the city would own downloaded footage and that recorded video would be stored in the cloud for 365 days unless the city downloads footage for longer-term evidence retention.
Commissioners focused questions on privacy, evidence handling and monitoring. Commissioner Taylor thanked the vendor and noted the need to answer public questions about oversight and data governance before broad deployment. Vice Mayor Cott asked whether notification settings could be time-limited or routed to different user accounts; Santoro replied that notifications go only to user accounts the city sets up and that account holders can opt into text or email alerts.
Santoro demonstrated geofencing and analytic zones that trigger alerts when a person or vehicle loiters in a specified area, and described prerecorded audio messages and a one-way live call-in feature to deter activity. He also said LVT’s subscription model includes vandalism coverage and “unlimited upgrades” to compliant hardware during the contract term.
Commissioners said they plan an initial deployment of two mobile units and five stationary cameras along High Street, with the option to expand if funding and outcomes support it. Commissioner Miller and Vice Mayor Cott reported a meeting with state Sen. Testa, who, according to the commissioners, is considering legislation focused on back-end rules and standard operating procedures rather than an outright camera ban.
Next steps discussed included finalizing procurement, confirming policy and access controls, and coordinating with the police department on training and evidence-retention procedures.
