The intersection is a few blocks south of the University of Nebraska, and a popular area during Nebraska football games.
Lincoln police have installed street cameras at a busy downtown intersection to keep watch on rowdy patrons outside local bars.
The cameras were placed at the intersection of 14th and O streets last month. The department paid $5,000 for both with money from a drug bust.
The intersection is a few blocks south of the University of Nebraska, and a popular area during Nebraska football games.
Lincoln police chief Jim Peschong says the intersection is a ``hot spot'' known for assaults and shoving matches.
Marc Fortney, whose company owns Brothers Bar & Grill, says he thinks the cameras are a good idea, but he hopes police maintain a presence downtown.
Peschong says the cameras won't replace any officers on the street.
