15. Camera’s as a Sensor
Oct 27, 2016 Cyber Summit 2016 15
§ Cameras are primarily used by The City as
a sensor. They collect video images and
meta data which can be used to enhance
the ability of the recipient to provide
effective assessment and response.
§ The use of a single or limited number of
devices to capture varying data streams
useful to more than one user
§ Sensors as a Service and Common Mode Cameras together allow for
ability to tie in additional data capture points.

16. Freedom of Information
Oct 27, 2016 Cyber Summit 2016 16
Ø “Personal Information” is defined in section 1(n) of the FOIP Act as
recorded information about an identifiable individual, including: the
individual’s race, colour, national or ethnic origin; the individual’s age or
sex; the individual’s inheritable characteristics; information about an
individual’s physical or mental disability; and any other identifiable
characteristics listed in that section.
Ø “Surveillance System” refers to a mechanical or electronic system or
device that enables continuous or periodic video recording, observing or
monitoring of personal information about individuals in open, public
spaces (including streets, highways, parks), public buildings (including
provincial and local government buildings, libraries, health care facilities,
public housing and educational institutions) or public transportation,
including school and municipal transit buses or other similar vehicles.

17. § Authority to use CCTV is granted under

Authority to Collect

18. Monitoring
Oct 27, 2016 Cyber Summit 2016 18
§ Corporate Security utilizes an
enterprise video management system
to monitor cameras from its Integrated
Security Centre.
§ System provides efficiencies and
effectiveness in monitoring and
response.
§ Reduces the number of ad-hoc
standalone systems that require
manual and onsite review.
§ In order to remotely monitor cameras via the network, streaming is
performed at a lower frame rate and definition than what is recorded at
the edge level.

19. Security of Data
Oct 27, 2016 Cyber Summit 2016 19
§ City of Calgary Corporate Security
employees are the only persons to have
administrative rights to the DVRs and
NVRs and are responsible for providing
DVDs (read only media and watermarked)
to the Law Department or Calgary Police
Service as directed.
§ Information is stored at the location of the
NVR and is under lock and key.
§ Information is only collected if movement
is detected within the area (incident
based).
§ Audit Logs

20. Storage and Retention of Video
Oct 27, 2016 Cyber Summit 2016 20
§ Data retention policies are crucial for managing the increase in storage
cost/ Requirements.
§ City retention policy for all video is 14 days or 31 days
§ Storage surplus required for proper function and allowance for
“protecting” video for investigative purposes (25% or more is ideal).
§ Most City of Calgary sites use distributed, edge level recording
1. Bandwidth – The required bandwidth for recording high quality imagery either
exceeds the limitations of the network in remote locations or seriously affects quality
of service for users at the remote site.
2. Autonomy– In the event of failure of the network, edge level recorders continue to
record.
