CCTV Registration Rebate

The City of Kwinana has partnered with WA Police to provide rebates of $50 to local businesses and residents who register their current functioning CCTV systems.

Cam-Map WA is a wide-ranging secure database of all voluntarily registered CCTV systems across WA. This platform invites homeowners to self-register their CCTV system onto a secure database which is operated by the Western Australia Police Force. The knowledge obtained from knowing the locations of installed CCTV systems will support WA Police in investigations and ultimately enhance public safety within the community.
