The upper level carpark, on the corner of Baxter and Percy Streets, will have a swivel security camera installed later this year thanks to the support of 22 donors who raised $3000.
Jeremey Holman initiated the project after his daughter’s vehicle was broken into in the carpark. The incident was one of a number of break-ins there.
“We haven’t had huge support from the public in terms of donations, but some large sums were given that got us over the line,” Jeremey says.
Top Drainage and One Warkworth Business Association both gave $1000.
“The owner of Top Drainage offered to cover repair costs for my daughter’s car, but insurance handled that so they made a donation for the camera instead.”
Currently, a stationary camera monitors the carpark’s entrance and exit, but this will be replaced by a camera that can pan across the area.
Jeremey says they are looking at moving the stationary camera to the Masonic Lodge end of the carpark.
The new camera will be a HIKvision DarkFighter model and will be installed by Insite Security.
“It will be one of the best cameras in Warkworth and is equipped with superb night vision.”
