How Charm City Shield Works
Research consistently shows that camera networks can help reduce crime in monitored areas. Here's how we bring that model to your neighborhood.
Camera Networks
We install and maintain professional-grade camera systems throughout your neighborhood, covering key intersections, corridors, and public areas. Every camera is positioned for maximum coverage — not maximum intrusion.
Incident Reporting
Residents report incidents through a simple online form. Suspicious activity, package theft, vehicle break-ins — your report goes directly to your neighborhood's volunteer safety committee for review and action.
Footage Retrieval
When an incident occurs, request camera footage for a specific date, time, and location. We work to retrieve and share relevant footage with authorized parties, including Baltimore Police when needed.
Our Neighborhoods
Select your neighborhood to report an incident, request footage, or access your community's safety dashboard.

Community Controlled
Each neighborhood runs its own safety committee with full control over their camera network. It's neighbors looking out for neighbors.
Continuous Recording
Professional-grade cameras with night vision, weatherproofing, and license plate capture — recording around the clock on the streets that matter most to your community.
