The City of Rahway is announcing an upgrade to downtown security cameras.
This newly installed system replaces Rahway's old surveillance equipment and is placed in public spaces throughout downtown with guidance from the police department.
The upgraded closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras have high-resolution cameras and modern safety tools that the city says will support faster, more effective emergency responses.
The update is to improve the quality, reliability, and range of coverage.
The placement of the cameras has the goal of public safety in mind with police identifying the areas that need enhanced oversight.
The technology is designed to protect shared spaces, not to monitor individuals, the city says.
The mayor of Rahway adds that the top priority is the safety and well-being of residents.
The city also hopes these cameras will keep the downtown vibrant, walkable, and family-friendly.
