Protecting Privacy in Surveillance

Video surveillance cameras can increase the information capacity of a security system. But many look at this opportunity with suspicion and do not want to install video surveillance cameras in apartments and houses. The reason is the lack of confidence that the cameras won’t threaten privacy or be used by burglars.

People are afraid of cameras.

Fear and lack of trust are often based on popular fears or on experience with cheap/low-quality devices that do not use strong encryption. But some concerns are real.

Ajax has a solution that will reassure even the most cautious users. The system allows you to turn off surveillance cameras when people are home — or do it automatically using a scenario. Video surveillance is active only when the room needs to be secured without causing disturbance at other times.

Why install surveillance cameras indoors?

Video surveillance cameras are used by entrepreneurs — it helps keeping the business under control and being aware of what is happening in the workplace. Distant branches, large offices, and small stores; warehouses; divisions; and locations of private businesses also need the owner’s supervision.

Cameras help parents know what children are doing while they are away and how a nanny is treating them. You can see how an elderly family member is doing and whether a caregiver is handling the job. You can make sure that pets are okay, and just see the family one extra time.

So, when you need to have the ability to see what is happening at home, in the office, or at the store in real-time, install a video surveillance system.

Sounds like spying. Is this ethical?

Video surveillance is conducted openly and consensually. It is unethical and illegal to secretly observe tenants who rent your apartment. It is normal and correct that family members, household staff, or employees be informed about video surveillance.

Another way to turn surveillance cameras off is to do it automatically using a scenario. The scenario is set by a user based on habits, wishes, and lifestyle. For example, it is convenient to have cameras disarmed every time the system is disarmed. The cameras will reconnect once the system is armed, and all the benefits of video surveillance will be available.

Benefits include streaming video and sound as well as saving snapshots. Ajax supports the RTSP protocol, which is a standard in the video surveillance market. It is used by most manufacturers, which means that the user can choose cameras with almost no limitations. The user decides who has access to a video stream, and reliable encryption protects the data against hacking.
