Hoboken has failed to keep a network of city-owned surveillance cameras working since 2010, including at least two cameras positioned on the waterfront where a jogger went missing last weekend, the I-Team has learned.

Juan Melli, a spokesman for Mayor Dawn Zimmer, confirmed that the cameras went offline nearly four years ago, after a contract expired with the company that designed and maintained the network.

?A couple years ago, we brought in an engineer," said Melli. "They said this system is old and not maintained and the recommendation was that they really weren?t usable."

In all, the city of Hoboken owns a network of 10 inoperative surveillance cameras, including one that is mobile, according to Melli. He did not reveal the exact locations of the inoperative cameras for security reasons, except to say two of them are on the waterfront.
