In 1993, the town of Dover New Jersey funded $30,000 for installation of 4 video security cameras in its downtown and city flea market areas. The cameras were monitored by the police department to . The initial goal was to deter crime and loitering but the cameras now serve as a general crime deterrent. According to observers, the public initially was not very supportive of security cameras, but opinion changed when loitering disappeared. Dover officials may expand the CCTV cameras to other areas, such as the railroad station and downtown shopping district.
City of Newark, New Jersey, has installed a CCTV system called "Video Patrol" that provides 24 hour surveillance of a two square mile area in the city's business district. The project was funded through a federal block grant to the Newark Economic Development Corporation. The system is composed of CCTV cameras with zoom and tilt lenses and a turning radius of 360 degrees. The system is maintained by a private security system but is monitored by the police.
