A generous donation of R6 000 was recently made to the Monte Vista Plattekloof Glen Ratepayers’ Residents Association’s Licence Plate Recognition Camera (LPR) Project.
Tyrel Painczyk, chair, said the donation was made towards LPR cameras for the area, a donation they are grateful for.
“We started with the LPR project in 2016 already and have funded this project largely with donations from residents and businesses alike.
“We have had tremendous support over the past few years from our ward councillor,” Cheryl Visser, who has donated a few of our cameras.
“The growth of our network has been slow over the years. However, over the past year we have ramped-up the efforts within the committee and have seen a few new cameras going up as well as maintenance on existing cameras is well under way.
“We still need to do a few more cameras, as well as human detection cameras to cover the area and keep it safer.
“We can do this only with the tremendous support we get from organisations like the neighbourhood watch, our residents, local business and of course the City of Cape Town.”
The LPR network connects with other networks across the city and with the assistance of the police, metro police, law enforcement, neighbourhood watches and local security companies they have seen huge success with thousands of arrests over the years across the network.
“We urge residents and local businesses to keep supporting the LPR network to keep our area safe,” says Painczyk.
