Brady Rowe, who is the project manager for the port's surveillance system here, said the Port hasn't had any complaints from neighbors or people walking along the Cap Sante boardwalk or on the docks.
The Port added more than 100 surveillance cameras at the Marina and Pier 2 at a cost of nearly one-million dollars. But, most of that money came from the federal government. Only a small portion was borne by Port taxpayers. The Port's share was only a little over $100,000.
Port Executive Director Bob Hyde said the new security system was mandated by the federal government, but he said, it was also funded by them.
One result of the installation of the cameras was the installation of an expanded wi-fi system to connect the cameras to the Port's security system. All of the camera are wireless. Port users, including boaters, have access to an improved wi-fi system. But, Rowe said they're still working on tweaking the system. There are some areas with less than adequate signal.
