MRAI has been working hard this year to get the cameras at the entrance up and running. We are happy to advise the cameras are now fully functional.
We have kindly been lent a laptop to provide this service, and plan to purchase our own laptop when funds allow.
Community Patrol, security cameras, burglar alarms, personal security, are all for deterrent factor. All of these have a part to play in making Matarangi safer.

Footage can be remotely accessed by Mercury Bay Community Patrol, only as required by New Zealand Police.
