RICHMOND TRAFFIC INTERSECTION CAMERAS AND PROPOSED PUBLIC SAFETY CAMERA SYSTEM

The existing traffic cameras were procured and specifically engineered for traffic management and not for capturing fine details like license plates or individual faces, despite their high-resolution recording capability. Based on the stipulations provided by the OIPC, the traffic intersection cameras were set to capture video at low-resolution, when the system was adopted by the Council on consent on March 23, 2020. The existing traffic camera system video footage is retained for 30-days. The existing traffic intersection camera system with video footage retrieval for both the public and the RCMP was in place since May 2021. As part of the research to respond to the referral motion that was passed at the Community Safety Committee meeting on September 12, 2023, staff conducted a review of the high-resolution video footage from the existing traffic intersection camera system and determined that license plates are not legible and facial features are indiscernible. Therefore, the quality of cunent traffic intersection camera video footage is of limited usefulness for law enforcement and investigative purposes.
