DATA PRIVACY POLICY FOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
What is Video Surveillance?
Video surveillance refers to keeping a check on a scene or scenes in search of any activity that is
improper or that may be indicative of an emergency.
The video surveillance process begins with the categorization of vulnerable areas on a site and then the
placement of security cameras in those specified areas to get a view of any activity there. Another helpful
tactic is finding specific time intervals when any improper activity is likely to happen, for instance at
nighttime. Then, by reviewing the selected data from those specified times, it is possible to conclude
whether any improper activity is happening.
At Kazo-K9.Co.UK, we use video surveillance to not just maximize the security of any given site but also
to leave no room for any inaccuracy in providing security services.
