TwiFi is lucky to have safety and security in Tremont — in the form of the Tremont Network Video Recorder project — as a partnering cause.

The Tremont Network Video Recorder (NVR) is a computer-based video recorder that acquires and stores video from security cameras placed around the neighborhood.. Cameras can be purchased and installed by residents, organizations, block clubs, etc., to be connected to the NVR system. Live and recorded video can be accessed over the internet, (generally) by TWDC Safety Committee, law enforcement, and camera owners.

The NVR is housed at Tremont West Development Corporation’s offices. The cameras are connected to TWDC wirelessly — that’s where TwiFi comes in.

Providing the infrastructure for the camera network will help us build out TwiFi’s wireless mesh.
