The "Public Safety Video Management Regulations" have been implemented, and the construction of security monitoring systems has ushered in new requirements.
The new regulations put forward clear requirements for the installation scope, retention period, data security and usage specifications of video surveillance. Security companies and construction units need to simultaneously adjust technical solutions and management systems.

Direct impact of regulations on construction units

The regulations clarify the installation area boundaries, video retention period, access rights management and data security responsibilities of the video surveillance system. For property owners, schools, hospitals, supermarkets and other user units, the biggest changes are:

  • It can be installed in public areas, but it is prohibited to install in areas involving privacy (changing rooms, bathrooms, inside wards, etc.);
  • Retain videos in key public areas for no less than 30 days, and special industries shall comply with special requirements;
  • Reviewing and copying videos requires approval and registration procedures, and operation logs are retained for future reference;
  • System construction needs to be able to prevent tampering and leakage.

How to adapt technical solutions

  1. Storage planning front-end: Calculate the capacity based on the number of points, code rate and retention days, and reserve 20% margin.
  2. Permission classification: Assign channel and time period permissions according to roles to avoid unauthorized access.
  3. Log audit: Turn on the operation log to record login, preview, playback, and export behaviors.
  4. Anti-tampering: Video files are watermarked, and key channels adopt dual-disk hot backup.

Xinlaida’s practical suggestions

It is recommended to complete the confirmation of the "Installable Area List" and "Prohibited Installation Area List" during the system construction stage. And solidify the permissions strategy in the platform to avoid repeated investment caused by later rectification.
