Video Cameras Enhance Security

To enhance the security for property owners and guests at Wintergreen, video cameras are in place at every entrance and exit. The network of cameras is managed by the Wintergreen Police Department. The arrival and departure of every vehicle is recorded with a time and date stamp.

Video systems like this are used worldwide on both public and private properties to deter crime and support criminal investigations ranging from petty theft to serious felonies. They have proved useful here over the years. Wintergreen's video system is strictly managed to respect individual privacy and constitutional rights.

Some, but not all, of the cameras at Wintergreen use a sophisticated Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system. ALPR systems do more than just record video. The technology captures images of license plates and vehicles and compares them to law enforcement “hot lists” for stolen vehicles, wanted persons, missing or endangered individuals, AMBER and similar alerts, and other clearly defined public safety purposes.
