Video Surveillance in Portland, Oregon

Also known as “Stumptown,” “Bridgetown,” and “The City of Roses,” Portland, Oregon is a medium-sized metropolitan area situated at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. Hemmed in by the sloping Tualatin mountains and equidistant to the Cascade range and the Pacific Ocean, Portland’s beauty and temperate climate have spurred rapid development in recent years. Continuing development, both inside Portland city limits and in neighboring suburbs like Beaverton and Gresham, have brought about a growing use of video surveillance cameras, which has created a booming market for security camera installers. Video surveillance is an essential tool for many of Portland’s most notable institutions.

Mass Transit Surveillance in Portland

On average, Portlanders use alternative forms of transportation like biking, walking and their nationally renowned transit system, TriMet, more than most other cities in the US. Portland’s mass transit system, TriMet, includes a comprehensive network of buses, light rail (called MAX for Metropolitan Area Express) and streetcars which stretches from downtown Portland to its furthermost suburbs, and even goes up into neighboring Vancouver, WA. TriMet also has one of the most recognizable video surveillance systems – every bus, train and streetcar is equipped with visible CCTV and IP security cameras. Transit stations, which serve as key connection points, are also monitored by cameras. TriMet recently received a grant from the Department of Homeland Security to expand surveillance to cover every MAX station, as well as the infrastructure of tracks and electric wires on which the train runs.

Portland Bar and Pub Security Cameras

Considered the epicenter of the US “microbrew revolution,” Portland is home to astounding number of small breweries and brewpubs that are frequented by beer enthusiasts. These popular destinations are commonly monitored by security cameras, both to protect the brewing facilities and maintain safety for customers and employees.

Portland’s notable independent music scene means that there are always a bevy of musical performances playing at any number of locations, most often bars or other venues. Security cameras are integral to maintaining security at these crowded, high-energy events.

Portland Apartment and Loft Surveillance

Portland's recent growth is often partly attributed to the development of the Pearl District, a new neighborhood in a once-heavy industrial part of downtown Portland. People have flocked to the neighborhood's art galleries and trendy restaurants, and developers have transformed once-abandoned industrial buildings into luxury apartments and lofts. Apartment buildings in this area of Portland often resemble those in larger cities, complete with penthouses, large balconies, and security cameras monitoring entrances and parking garages. The popularity of the Pearl District has caused development of similar sorts in many neighborhoods around Portland - making security cameras a common form of security for many newer apartment buildings around town.
