Securing Your Premises With CCTV: Benefits and Pitfalls

by

Hozehfa MH Topiwala,

Director, Advisense Pte Ltd

Synopsis:

Close Circuit TVs have become ubiquitous in Singapore. From managing traffic to looking out for shoplifters, from securing the perimeter to settling insurance claims, the uses of CCTV are myriad.

Beneficial as CCTV are, they need to be used with care. To achieve optimal security, CCTVs should be combined with appropriate illumination, effective overlap of range, and must have adequate storage space for the images. Images and footages need to be handled with care and a set of policies and procedures to store, access, and delete these needs to be developed.

Careless deployment of CCTV will not only offer a false sense of security but may also expose the organisation to violation of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012. In addition, a poorly implemented or maintained CCTV system is itself vulnerable to cyber security issues and being hacked.

We bring you an inside view of the CCTV technology and systems, and the legal and IT security aspects of deploying a CCTV camera in home, office, and commercial establishments.

Join this session to learn about:

1. How best to deploy a CCTV system for home and office
2. Who will guard the guards - keeping the CCTV system safe
3. Developing policies and procedures to keep out of trouble

This session will be of interest to security professionals, business owners, IS auditors, and anyone who has been intrigued by the CCTV cameras that now dot the urban landscape.
