Hornell police will add a surveillance camera near Hornell High School using a $10,000 Steuben County grant, according to the Hornell Tribune. The camera will be placed at Seneca and State streets, a busy area for vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
City officials said the equipment will include a high-resolution pan-tilt-zoom camera with a 360-degree view.
The camera will cover the east and south sides of the school, portions of nearby streets, about 10 businesses and part of a residential neighborhood.
Live video can be viewed from dispatch center monitors at police headquarters.
Hornell officials said the new camera expands a community camera program that went live with upgraded equipment in late 2025.
