Surveillance Cameras for Dewey Beach

all-free-download.com

A camera surveillance system is coming to Dewey Beach to monitor activity on Route 1 during the summer months.

Town officials tell WBOC that police will use the cameras to increase their awareness and record video when necessary to reduce crime.

The 8 cameras will be able to pan and zoom from a control room at the Dewey Beach Police Department.

The cost is not expected to be more than $95-thousand.

Half the money will come from grants and donations while the town comes up with the rest.
