Bermuda Surveillance camera maps shows you cameras and guards — watching you — across the whole island. You can see where they are located and, if the information is available, what type they are, the area they observe, or other interesting facts.

Different icons and colors give you a quick overview about the indexed surveillance entries. Click on those icons on the map to get the available information.

how to participate

The Bermuda Surveillance Camera Map features data from OpenStreetMap contributors not shown on the regular site. If you would like to add new cameras or guards, or update existing entries, please use your existing OSM account or create a new one.

Our database is updated once an hour. So it might take a while until your OSM entries are visible on the Bermuda Camera Surveillance map.
