Pool area video surveillance system installed
Please be advised that in response to last year’s concerns with trespassing and vandalism, a new video surveillance system is being installed in the public pool area.
- This system is NOT ACTIVELY MONITORED! No one will be looking at the live video or recordings unless there is a cause to do so.
- While the recordings may be useful to the board and law enforcement in investigating crimes and rules violations, the board cannot and does not assume responsibility for or guarantee the security of Summerfield residents or guests and their property. Please undertake your own reasonable safety precautions.
- There are three readily visible dome cameras mounted on roof edge of the pump room inside the pool area. The system has night vision and motion detection capabilities. Audio is not recorded. The bathrooms and shower area are not in the field of view.
- Access to the recording system will be secured.
- Only board members will have the ability to access the system, but will only do so when there is cause.
- Signs are on order and will be posted both inside and outside of the pool area that video recordings are being made. (A temporary sign will be put up until they arrive.)
- Video recordings will not be made public on social media or the HOA website. Still images may be released for the purpose of identifying persons of interest or witnesses but only pursuant to a police investigation.
- A full policy statement will be posted to the website later this week.
- We will discuss the system at greater length in our annual members meeting in May.
