Extremely Low Cost:

​The most cost efficient crime camera program in America, Project NOLA provides crime cameras starting at only $150 and 24/7 lossless cloud recording for as little as $15/month.  Unlike costly pole-mounted camera programs, Project NOLA works to place street-facing crime cameras on private and commercial properties, further reducing operational costs while providing superior camera angles and reliability.  Very often, community members and associations underwrite some or all the cost of a new crime camera program by contributing towards the cost of individual crime cameras and/or Project NOLA cloud recording.  For example, without the benefit of federal grants or municipal tax dollars, Project NOLA worked with community members to create an extensive network involving over 2500 crime cameras in New Orleans, which continues to operate and grow thanks to private charitable donations.

Project NOLA further benefits budget-strapped police and sheriff's departments by helping to live-monitor high-crime areas, analyzing video relative to felony crimes, and actively work to identify and locate violent repeat offenders.   Project NOLA may also provide free software and smart apps that allow local 911 operators and law enforcement live monitor crime cameras from computers and mobile devices.

Powerful yet Socially Responsible:

Unlike traditional pole-mounted municipal crime camera programs, Project NOLA focuses on creating community-based camera programs powered by individuals and associations that agree to sponsor street-facing crime cameras on homes, businesses, churches and schools.  Offering advanced features like Gunshot Detection, Project NOLA strongly protects people's privacy by only retaining footage for about 2 weeks and does not employ controversial (and largely inaccurate) computer-based predictive behavior analysis algorithms.
