Things To Know Before
Installing CCTV In Your Office
Managing a huge workforce in multinational companies
can turn out to be a nightmare for the higher
management, if there is
no way of monitoring the day to day engagement and
activities (of their employees) during the operation
hours.
Given the amount of infiltration happening in all
spaces of human network (international borders as
well as the internet), a
cohort of government and private authorities from
all across the globe are seizing technological
interventions to protect the data as well as
personnel security. Thus, the introduction of CCTV
cameras within and in the exteriors of a workspace
gives the employee with a better control and track
progress on their business activities.
When to Mobilise a CCTV camera?
CCTV surveillance cameras (in offices) are installed
by the management to engage in 'active' and
'passive' real-time
activity to monitor not only the ECM (Enterprise
Content Management) system but also the employee
engagement in the organization.
A CCTV installation is one of the useful resources a
company must consider including during the initial
stages of the
infrastructure design. The accurate positioning of a
CCTV camera helps cover a larger area to be
monitored by the employer (or clients from various
businesses). It is imperative to have a quick
understanding of the specifications of the camera
before it is installed and also run a thorough
system test post-installation at the site.
The Smart Nation- Singapore and The Third Eye
Singapore has emerged as a click-and-mortar nation
which provides immense opportunities to not only the
native businesses but also is one of the most
desired business destinations by foreign companies.
However, as there are achievements (in any
sector), there are also pitfalls. In this case, it
is in the form of data protection procedures adopted
by the employers and the adherence (or its code of
conduct) by the employees, per se.
Singapore government completely realize the
importance of protecting the consumer data
(especially when foreign businesses
are involved) and hence, emphasise on the maximum
utilization of CCTV camera to conform to their Data
Protection Act (1998) and Human Protection Act
(1998).
Essentials of a CCTV Surveillance Kit and its
Know-How
Before you decide on installing a CCTV surveillance
camera in your office or commercial space, there are
a few observations you
must make first.
· If you are operating out of a Serviced Office or
Business Centre, you might want the employees and
systems to adhere to operational requirements of
your business. Hence, the installation of a fully-
functional CCTV camera in the reception area, IT
corridor and department, refreshment area, etc.
becomes quite imperative.
· If you have shared a work space with other tenants
(or using 'hot desks'), it may not look convincing
install a high-end CCTV camera for the entire area.
In such cases, engaging the workforce to adhere to
IP-based security structure helps.
· The business owners and management must conform to
the Codes of Practice and Procedures and keep an
open channel of communication before subjecting the
employees to CCTV camera vigilance within the office
premises.
· Businesses and offices must not intrude the
privacy of any employee (or individual) while
setting the position of the CCTV camera at the time
of its installation.
· Whether it is a commercial-leased space, a
private-owned commercial building, a
government-owned commercial building, a
virtual space, or a Home Office- a CCTV camera can
be designed for each space with the desired set of
specifications (based on the operator’s
requirement).
· The market and CCTV developers offer a range of
options based on the operator’s requirement. The
design and specification of
the Close-Circuit TV camera depends on the spatial
layout, blind areas, protecting critical assets,
evaluation of video images in the suggested camera
locations, etc. must be taken into consideration
(while choosing the most accurate device for your
usage).
Checks before the Installation of a CCTV camera in
an Office Space
Eavesdropping or watching over someone is always
considered an immoral and unlawful act by the
defender. CCTV cameras came into existence to raise
the security aspect of an individual, space or data
(when threatened will loss or malpractice). People
(whether at public or commercial spaces) can not
appeal against it (as it is an important feature of
the business’s and its consumer’s data protect
policy). But the same theory doesn’t apply if the
camera (hidden-eye) is installed in a private space
(by a third party). There are a list of do’s and
don’ts while installing a security camera in
official spaces (particularly in this case).
· Each space has a different lighting arrangement
and therefore, the operator must consult the CCTV
professional (or developer)
before selecting a particular camera type(s) for
each area (if any usage of incandescent, HID,
Infrared, or LED lights is there).
· CCTV cameras may face equipment issues pertaining
to the power source performances in that space.
Hence, the CCTV’s are usually installed at the
conceptual stages of an office set up, so as to
allow the electricians to create a powerful electric
system and network for the CCTVs and other
electrical equipment to work in tandem and
uninterrupted.
· CCTV uses a digital transmission platform to
produce video images (of high quality). In order for
the CCTV camera to give
the maximum output and intensify the video streaming
for a quick surveillance, the operator must try and
accommodate more server networks to maximize the
bandwidth space.
· Before placing an order from a particular vendor,
the user (or client) must get a general overview and
feedback from the prior
customers (of the same CCTV brand or company) about
the operational efficiency, maintenance and
durability of the product.
· Each time a purchase is made, the operator must
request and receive a complete on-site trial of the
product to make sure all
his requirements and asks are met.
· Since, it is an electronic device- the warranty on
the device is an important check (to be confirmed by
the buyer or operator).
This ensures the maintainability of the device for a
longer duration.
