What is Video Surveillance?1


Introduction:

Surveillance means close monitoring. Public surveillance systems include a network of cameras and components for monitoring, recording, and transmitting video images.

Most cameras are pre-programmed to scan an area for a predetermined time and pattern, yet can also be operated remotely by security personnel or an automated computer system to focus on a particular area of interest

Infrared/Night Vision: These night-vision cameras have the ability to see images in pitch black conditions using IR LEDs. In some cases they are for mobile applications.

Outdoor: The key to outdoor cameras is the housing itself, which must be impenetrable to moisture, insects, dust and other elements.

Network/IP: These cameras, both hardwired and wireless, transmit images over the Internet, often compressing the bandwidth so as not to overwhelm the web. IP cameras are easier to install than analog cameras because they do not require a separate cable run or power boost to send images over a longer distance.

Varifocal: A camera with a varifocal lens allows the operator to zoom in or out while still maintaining focus on the image.

Violation of Privacy5


It is violation of privacy if following privacy statements are not covered:

Being clear about why they are collecting information about people.

Making sure people know about the camera and their purpose.

How long the images will be store.

Keeping the images safe and making sure that only authorized person can see them.

Rights of access to the information by individual concerned.

People should be well informed before entering the CCTV zone.



Impact on Right to Privacy:

People whose images are recorded should be able to request access to their recorded personal information.

The public should be informed that they are under surveillance. Clear signs should be put up mentioning the perimeter of the surveillance areas.

Security of the equipment and images should be assured.

A “Privacy Impact Assessment” should be conducted beforehand to assess the degree of interference that will result due to the video surveillance.
