I am looking to start rolling out an IP CCTV system across the Hotel I work in. In a random discussion yesterday, someone mentioned that IP CCTV footage was not submissible in court.
I cant see why this would be the case. Can anyone shed any light on this? |

There is a lot of argument that many if not most CCTV installations fail to comply with the law, principally data protection act.
However, even if the installation was ruled to be in breach of the law, I could not see a judge refusing to accept a video showing who had plunged the carving knife between the shoulder blades of the chef.

Digital Systems are seen as "weak" in that way.

I'm sort of with tim on this.
However, forget about installation (that will only cause problems if an employee raises issues). Instead, concentrate on health & safety, and on access to images/operating licence requirements. Fail on those two, and a judge will refuse it regardless of the claimed crime. That applies to non IP systems too. |

Thanks for the pointers gents.
Just spoke to an "Industry Expert" who has said that it is more to do with digitally recorded images than IP CCTV - of course to overcome this, one would need to go back to tapes or something horrible like that. Seeing as we already use a central recorder to store 30 days of images onto a local HDD, we're in no different situation going IP. Security around the stored data will be priority then (as normal). |

I was involved in running a community CCTV project for a while. The legal side of that was a bit of a headache, but then, we were filming public, rather than private spaces, which didn't help.
Most of the hurdles are data protection act related for private spaces as far as I'm aware. Jambo

I'm doing some work around this with a city council whose city centre CCTV systems are all IP and digitally recorded, I know very little about the systems themselves, but am dealing with the environment and infrastructure where the images are stored back at the data centre. I know that in terms of comms, private links are used to each camera cluster as opposed to having data traversing the internet, this is where you are most likely to get "insubmissable in court".
You need to be able to demonstrate to the court that the integrity of that data could not have been compromised, through compliance with auditable procedures around security of that data

We will ultimately have 100 cameras throughout our building, all going over our internal network. I have forecasted a maximum of 3gb/camera/24hours on average based on movement activated recording and 2fps. |
