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

Types of Surveillance Camera

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.

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.
