This is a website that works in coordination with the 'Texas Border Sheriff's Coalition'. You can monitor cameras that have been set up in different areas along the Texas/Mexico border, and report suspicious activity via e-mail.

"The Texas Border Sheriff's Coalition (TBSC) has joined BlueServoSM
in a public-private partnership to deploy the Virtual Community Watch,
an innovative real-time surveillance program designed to empower the
public to proactively participate in fighting border crime.

The TBSC BlueServoSM Virtual Community WatchSM is a FREE service consisting of a network of cameras and sensors along the Texas-Mexico border. This network feeds live streaming video FREE-OF-CHARGE to the user's computer, which they can access by creating a FREE account at http://www.BlueServo.net. Users will log in to the BlueServoSM website and directly monitor suspicious criminal activity along the border via this virtual fenceSM.

Citizens can sign up as Virtual Texas DeputiesSM to participate in border surveillance through this social network. Virtual Texas DeputiesSM
from around the country will monitor the streaming video from these
cameras 24/7 and report any suspicious activities directly to the Border
Sheriffs via email. All emails regarding suspicious activity will be
submitted anonymously."


Apparently, you can also set up virtual neighborhood watch networks!




"Another facet of this program is the ability of the public to connect
their own cameras to http://www.BlueServo.net to create local Virtual
Neighborhood WatchesSM in order to protect their own homes,
neighborhoods, and families from criminal acts. These Virtual
Neighborhood WatchesSM can, in turn, be connected to form additional Virtual Community WatchesSM.
