CCTV for Public Spaces

The Division of Public Safety is committed to enhancing the quality of life for the campus community by integrating the best practices of public and private policing with state-of-the-art technology. A critical component of a comprehensive security plan using state-of-the-art technology is CCTV.

As prescribed by the University Policy “Closed Circuit Television Monitoring and Recording of Public Areas for Safety and Security Purposes,” (Almanac April 13, 1999), the locations of all outside CCTV cameras monitored by Public Safety are to be published semi-annually in Almanac. The locations and description of these cameras can also be found at the Division of Public Safety website, www.publicsafety.upenn.edu.

The University has used several generations of American Dynamics UltraDome 360°, high speed pan/tilt/zoom cameras with motion detection capabilities. The current SpeedDome Ultra VII Enhanced Day/Night utilizes a 23x optical zoom combined with a 10x digital zoom, providing a 230x total zoom.

Questions in reference to the CCTV system or policy may be addressed to either of us.
