San Clemente Offering Loaner Surveillance Cameras

Ever wanted to try a surveillance camera for your residence, but been hesitant to buy one? The City of San Clemente is now loaning them.

SAN CLEMENTE, CA — The City of San Clemente is offering a surveillance camera loaner program. Surveillance cameras are a great way to provide security for your home or workplace. As well as providing you with video footage of any events that may happen, they also act as a visible deterrent to criminals and assist the local authorities in their investigations.

Through the City’s loaner program, members of the community can try out a surveillance camera before they buy. The City has purchased two (2) Ring Stick-Up Cameras at a discounted price to use as loaner cameras. The camera is weather-resistant and has a wire-free mount to see, hear and speak with your guests. All systems are easy to set up and do not require a professional to install.

The loaner program allows residents to check out the camera for a one-week period. Due to demand, a wait list may be created but the availability will be first-come, first-serve. Residents will need to sign a hold harmless release form before checking out the loaner camera. After the one-week loan, residents who want to purchase one will receive $25 off the $199 purchase price when purchased through Ring by using the promo code, 7sanclemente at ring.com.

Ring has been working with hundreds of police departments and neighborhood watch groups across the country. An example of a city Ring has worked with recently is the City of Lafayette in the Bay Area on a similar loaner program. Since Lafayette implemented their program they have seen a considerable drop in residential burglaries.
