Valley Center Municipal Water District has extensive video surveillance technology deployed throughout the service area. Most of the cameras are for security and monitoring purposes, but several of them are set up to survey the surrounding environment for situational awareness during fire and weather events, and the imagery from these cameras is publicly available. The images are near-live, they update automatically every minute, 24 hours a day.

VCMWD is also collaborating with High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network (HPWREN), a University of California San Diego partnership project led by the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the Scripps Insitution of Oceanography's Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, by making the images available for first responders and academic research. Historical and time-lapse imagery from the public cameras are available on HPWREN website.
