DOCUMENTED

ALPR / Genetec AutoVu

Citywide camera system expanded with AutoVu LPR cameras

Elgin’s August 23, 2023 Committee of the Whole meeting records a $67,577 purchase of AutoVu license-plate-recognition cameras, equipment, and licenses to expand and update the Citywide Camera System for investigative and public-safety use. This establishes the system and procurement but not a current 2026 camera count.

PUBLIC RECORDS · FOIA

Records and official sources.

Primary government records are preferred. Where practical, NoRec keeps a local archival copy alongside the official source so citations remain auditable if a government URL later changes.
