In addition to boosting network coverage, a dozen cell phone towers recently installed on the Boardwalk by communications company Crown Castle will also provide two dozen new camera feeds for the resort’s City Watch surveillance system.
City Engineer Terry McGean said the equipment costs were absorbed by Crown Castle.
“They put cameras at each of the tower locations for our City Watch system,” he said. “It’s not a feed we put on the web, it’s a feed we use internally for public safety.”
Ocean City Police and the Emergency Services departments monitor the City Watch camera system, McGean said.
“They feed to what we call ‘City Watch,’ which is essentially our camera surveillance system we have throughout town,” he said.

Big Brother has arrived. Say goodbye to your rights as you know them, the USA as we know/knew it will be gone in 25 years maybe less.
I got my fake mustache, plastic nose, and no prescription glasses to wear whenever I walk around Ocean City.
This has boomed in China. Facial recognition the whole bag. I knew it would be a matter of time here. Well there you have it. One more reason to avoid OC like the plague. You are losing your freedoms faster today than ever in history. Sure one can argue you have no expectation of privacy in public but it doesn't mean you want to be filmed the entire time you are out of your home with your family and kids!
Yup, that pretty much turns OC into full on Orwellian police state.
Also, the cameras all should be made public. We bought them, we should be able to view them real time.
City FAIL should consider putting the feeds on the web, unless there is something to hide. "Tis" 2018 and practically everything is seen over the Al Gore's internet (insert laughter). More "FREE" eyes the better too. Plus slap advertisements on the side of the page and FREE advertising for your FAMILY FRIENDLY resort town.
Do be sure when asked - why so many camera's in a FAMILY FRIENDLY resort town?
Simply amazing, but she's my town and the love just gushes each/every year!
WELCOME JUNE BUGS/FIRE FIGHTERS!!!!!
You cheered!
NOW, it's a problem?
It's a problem that is only beginning.
KEEP cheering.
6:04- Meanwhile you're the first to complain about crappy surveillance footage when a crime is recorded.
9:46 never have complained about the police in my life except to complain that there are to many. My faith is in my array of weapons that I have.
