That’s s bit unsettling..

Agreed!

I'm unsure of the reason the camera was placed on the pole. I know that the city does place cameras for various reasons. Reasons such as compliance and permitting issues, heath department concerns, abandon properties and many others. I'm sure you may get the information you are looking for from city hall. The Medford Police Department does not own or have access to any such cameras.

Isn't this site to help us navigate getting information from City Hall? Can someone refer this over to them? I'd like to know if this is a City-operated camera or if someone random just put it there.

Yes, tenants nearby have been warned that one of the neighbors has put many security cameras up so this is the concern.

If it’s on a city pole it’s illegal.

Is the camera still on pole?

Yes still there

I have reported it to National Grid, who actually owns that pole, and if that camera is not supposed to be there - it will be removed! Let's see what happens next week!

I'm sorry but this is not a Police matter. If you like to continue this issue please reopen it under the inspectional services department.
