CONNECT BRADENTON COMMUNITY CAMERA REGISTRY

Connect Bradenton is a camera registry program available to City of Bradenton residents and business owners. The Bradenton Police Department utilizes this registry to build an interactive map of security cameras that will:

  • Be accessible only to the Bradenton Police Department

  • Increase the efficiency of direct video evidence collection

  • Provide camera owners’ immediate contact information to investigators

  • Enable communities to work together to create a safe Bradenton

Camera Registration

  • For external home and doorbell cameras.

  • Free and voluntary.

  • BPD cannot access video feeds. Officers may contact camera owners and request video.

  • Camera owners provide contact information (first and last name, email, and phone number), the number of cameras, and the location of cameras (address, city, state, and zip code).

  • Registration takes approximately one minute to complete.

Camera Integration

  • Primarily for external business cameras.

  • Allows BPD to access camera feeds in an emergency near camera locations. Sharing your feed can improve response time and help keep you safer by informing officers of the situation in advance.

  • The camera owner determines camera-sharing preferences.

  • Requires a small “fususCORE” video-server attachment, which enables camera sharing based on your settings without impacting your network.
