Livestream camera left on during Waterloo summer camp
Cameras set up in a Waterloo arena to livestream hockey games also streamed a summer camp to its subscribers this week. The City of Waterloo says it is investigating after livestreaming cameras were left active as summer camp programs took place at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex. Campers and staff were unaware the cameras were on at the time. In a press release, the city says it is working with the operator of the cameras, LiveBarn, to figure out how the livestream started and how long it was on for. "Upon notification of the livestream, the campers were moved out of the arena and staff unplugged the cameras to disable them," the press release says. "The LiveBarn cameras at all city of Waterloo arenas will remain unplugged and disabled until more information is available." LiveBarn has cameras in more than 1,900 venues across North America and they stream a number of sports including hockey, basketball, swimming, soccer, lacrosse and more. People subscribe to be able to watch the livestreams. Access to the video was available only to LiveBarn subscribers. The city says the cameras at recreation centre are only intended to be used during Waterloo Minor Hockey Association games. In the press release posted online, it says city staff have also learned "unscheduled livestreaming has also occurred at locations in other cities where LiveBarn cameras are installed." The city has contacted attendees of the summer camp. They have also notified summer camp attendees from the Albert McCormick Community Centre, but it is not yet clear if the LiveBarn cameras there were also livestreaming without permission. "[We] recognize that camp parents may be concerned and/or frustrated with the limited information available at this time," the city's press release said. "We are committed to a full investigation with all parties involved and to sharing further details with those impacted as more information becomes available."
