He says: “We look forward to more regulations and stringent laws to ensure adherence to the regulations, resulting in an increase in the usage of recorded video as the ultimate source of evidence.
“There is a need to regulate more effectively to make recording and storing more organised in complex systems and diverse organisations, protecting the individual’s privacy and preventing unintended and inappropriate use of the material.”
And as part of the mechanism to make that happen, Mirasys is working on systems to control who can look at the footage, seeking to limit playback to authorised personnel only.
