City installed video camera at rural corner of Lorraine and Hartford

The city installed a camera in rural north Livermore at the junctioning corner of Hartford (off of North Livermore Avenue) and Lorriane roads - I'm guessing it's more for city revenue than for citizen protection....anyone know about it?

Lately there has been alot of Gay activity going on in parked cars in the area. The city is just responding to complaints from homeowners in the area.

So the county is going to make videos?

Its probably just for overall security. As an ingress/egress point from the city, it is necessary to be able to monitor it. There are other cameras located such that you cannot enter or leave Livermore in a vehicle without being recorded by camera.

As a side note, that area has seen several problems in the past, from illegal dumping to street racing.

I always hoped that someone would set up a camera just to catch the illegal dumpers. It used to be that every few weeks there'd be some ratty old couch and a bunch of debris on the side of the road.

How do you know that is why the camera is there??

You're smoking crack! The city doesn't monitor anybody with camera's. Once again, prove your statement!

There are numerous video cameras at stoplights throughout the City - especially on First Street. There is a lot of drag racing and trash dumping in the Lorraine/Raymond area - hopefully that is why they're video-monitoring the area.

The lights you see on the intersection lights are not video cameras, they are what is used to detect traffic on the roadway. That is why when it is foggy the signals don't always change.

you guys don't believe there are video cameras on all routes in and out of Livermore, but there are. Look around sometime. Try to get out of town without passing one.

Go on, give it a shot.

The red light cameras yes, those are the rectangular solid body cameras - generally they are painted white. The video equipment is in the smoked glass dome, like you see in department stores. It is typically mounted on the vertical pole at a corner, not above the roadway.

There are many of these cameras in Livermore.

Where can I see one?

There are two, what appear to be cameras on the intersection light poles. One is to sense cars being in their respective lanes to signal the traffic lights to change (used to be ground sensors) and the second one is a traffic flow camera that allows traffic engineers to change light timing. There are no red light cameras in the city or cameras to monitor people. Sorry to disappoint you Anon!

Anon is an idiot and it shows again. Psssttttt, Anon, the police are watching you, big brother is everywhere, they are installing cameras because of all your non sense trash talking. They are monitoring you right now, shut down the Wifi server, cancel your credit cards, cash only, no cell phone, no services, aaahahhhhhhhhhhhh

Well maybe they aren't using them for recording violations, but they are red light cameras. Same camera. I was not aware they were not active (shows you how effective those things are, just the threat of them, right?)

Here is a partial list of the video cameras:

Vasco at Las Positas
Vasco at Emily
Railroad at Livermore
Stanley at Murrieta
Stanley at Isabel
East at Mines
First Street at Las Positas
Las Positas at Kohl's Driveway
North Canyons Parkway at Airway Blvd.
Holmes Street at Arroyo Mocho Trail Crossing
First Street at L Street
Livermore Ave at Portola Ave
Stanley Blvd at El Caminito
First Street at Maple Street
Vasco Road at Northfront Road
Vasco Road at Tesla Road (County)

Those are not red light cameras, they are used for signaling lights to change, not red lights

Anon seriously dude lay of the meth. Do you ever take a break from this site? DO you ever go on vacation?

I'll see ya later driving down Herman.

Jim, I'm talking about the other cameras. That's what the list represents. Not the rectangular ones over the roadway. The smoked dome cameras...those are CCTV camera, ie, VIDEO cameras. Like in a retail store.

Anon, no idea what you are talking about. There are two camera devices that i see on the intersections. One is the sensor that sees the strobe light from the fire truck and police cars and changes the lights to green the direction they are coming. The other one is for signal lights to sense the vehicle for the purposes for monitoring traffic. I do not see any CCTV cameras.

Jim, just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't there!

Jim, with all due respect, you're confused. You know what a retail surveillance camera looks like? Have you been in a Target, or a Walmart? Look up at the ceiling, there are dozens of them.

Now, with that fixed in your mind, go look at the intersections I posted.

Look familiar? They are both CCTV systems.
