We install cameras where they’re most needed.
If no local buildings offer space, we can’t cover that area.
The more hosts that join, the more coverage we get and the safer the streets become.
These cameras protect people. And if you ever feel unsafe, you can deliberately walk in their view for reassurance. Our goal is a network that watches over people, not watches people.
