Rollout timeline
At the end of November 2026, we will begin rolling out cameras in stages across the parks network so we can test and refine the system as we go.
All dates are indicative and will be updated here as the project progresses. You may notice cameras on site, however the system will not begin to go live until mid-2027 once all cameras are in place, and the software integration is tested and working as intended. Leading up to that point, the National Office will continue to update members and park volunteers.
June 2026 – Approved. The NZMCA Board approved the rollout across all NZMCA Parks.
Year one (to mid-2027) – Priority parks and system build. Cameras installed at an initial group of parks, starting with those that already have power and connectivity. Software, a park management dashboard and links to our membership system are being developed and tested, along with operating, privacy and data procedures. A soft launch at parks where cameras are installed may take place to help further test the system.
Year two (to mid-2028) – Every park. Cameras installed, functioning as required, and actively monitored at all NZMCA Parks.
Year three (to mid-2029) – Review. We review how the camera network is running and decide the best long-term management model.
