Common questions
Questions neighbours ask.
Is it really free?
Yes. Registering your camera is free, and there are no subscription fees or hidden costs.
Can police access my camera?
No. Police cannot view your camera live or download your recordings. They can send a request through the platform, and you decide whether to share footage.
What kind of camera do I need?
Any doorbell or security camera you can download footage from will work. There is nothing to buy or install, and no special hardware is required.
Will my address be public?
No. Your address is never shown publicly. Only verified police can see the approximate camera location when a relevant incident is being investigated.
Do I have to share footage?
No. You can decline any request without giving a reason. You keep ownership of your footage and decide what, if anything, to share.
Can I remove my camera later?
Yes. You can deactivate or delete your camera listing at any time from your account settings. Future requests stop immediately.
