ANPR Cameras in Christchurch City
April made this Official Information request to Christchurch City Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for April to read a recent response and update the status.
From: April
Dear Christchurch City Council,
Under the Official Information Act 1982 I request the following.
One. A complete list of all sensors currently attached to or communicating through the Itron CityEdge streetlight network in Christchurch including sensor type, manufacturer, function, data collected, and data destination.
Two. Whether any camera devices including 360-degree cameras, PTZ cameras, or AI-enabled cameras are currently connected to or planned for the Itron CityEdge network and if so their locations, specifications, and the legal basis for their deployment.
Three. Whether the Smart Christchurch AI-processed CCTV trial involving third party data analysis of mode shapes and direction of travel is ongoing, what third party company processes the footage, where the data is stored, and how long it is retained.
Four. Whether any facial recognition capability has been tested, trialled, or considered for use on any CCC-operated camera network and if so on what legal basis.
Five. Whether CCC has any policy requiring community engagement or council approval before new sensor types are added to the Itron CityEdge network and if not why not.
Six. Whether any of the 45 ANPR cameras operating in Christchurch feed data to the Auror or vGrid national systems and under what legal authority.
Post your response in the comments. Every OIA response builds a public picture of what the grid actually contains.
This is a standalone post in the What's In The Water and Control Grid series. The full series is on this page.
