Kia ora John,

 

Thank you for your request for information related to Cameras and
Commercial Relationships.

Auckland House and one at Albany Hub.

Both only read vehicles wanting to enter the basements of both locations
and allow only the registrations of vehicles authorised to enter.

These two cameras are owned by Auckland council

 

We have no other registration plate recognition cameras operating in
public areas.

Auckland Council does not provide data, images, or footage to Auror
Limited, Datacom Group Ltd, vGRID, SaferCities, or Safe City Group

We do not supply data or any other information  to Auror or Datacom nor do
