What we do not know
Fusus camera sharing platform [Fort Bend County Sheriff]
- How many private cameras are registered, and how many are live-shared with the Sheriff's Office.
- Whether any plate readers, drones or covert cameras were connected to the platform.
- Whether the service continued after September 2025, and if so under what agreement.
- Who in the Sheriff's Office can view shared cameras, and whether access is logged and audited as the participation agreement says.
- How long video pulled from shared cameras is kept.
What camera networks are
Fixed and steerable cameras run by a public agency, often networked so footage from many locations can be watched or searched from one place.
