Strong partnerships have been formed to put technology to work solving crimes and assisting responding law enforcement. As strong partnerships are formed to put technology to work solving crimes and assisting responding law enforcement, Bay County becomes a safer place to live and raise a family.
LEVEL 1: Register Your Cameras
Let's work together to fight crime! Register your security cameras with Connect Bay County today to help identify area cameras in case of an incident. An investigator from the BAYROC will contact you via email if they need your assistance solving a crime near you.
Camera registration takes less than one minute via our secure online portal. Registering your cameras does not allow the BAYROC access to your live video stream - it only enables investigators to know a camera is present at your location and easily request video evidence should an incident occur.
By agreeing to register your cameras, the Bay County Sheriff's Office will not have live access to your camera feeds, ONLY giving the Sheriff's Office knowledge that a camera is at your location. If an incident happens in your immediate area, the Sheriff's Office will contact you based on the information provided during registration. For emergencies in your area, please contact 911.
Please complete Level 1 (Camera Registry) before proceeding to Level 2 (Camera Integration). If you have previously registered your security cameras, please go directly to Step 2 to purchase CORE devices.
