The increased camera system will retain audio and video footage for up to seven days, enabling the FVC to download and preserve recordings when incidents occur. This system enhances the FVC's ability to monitor, document, and report any instances of misbehavior, unruliness, inappropriate or abusive conduct, or harmful conversations initiated by visiting parents. Over the course of one year, approximately 1,980 families will be supported through enhanced monitoring and communication made possible by this project. *56.
