Civic Tech

In urban and suburban areas, package theft has become a common issue many residents are facing. We aim at creating a communal security system to help enhance neighborhood safety and security by relying on the community to help keep it secure for everyone.

Our Project

We've created an app that allows communities to relay security concerns regardless of camera brand. Our app gives users the opportunity to share safety concerns within a neighborhood. There's no need for community members to share their phone number with strangers, just create an account and see things happening in your neighborhood. Our research showed us that security cameras prevent crime and reduce the risk of property crime/theft, most people are comfortable sharing camera footage with members of their communities and family members, and current market leading apps do not allow sharing between different brands of security cameras
