Video surveillance
Video surveillance cameras guarantee the safety of property, buildings and people. They are being used more and more in response to the increase in attacks and malicious acts.
Video surveillance: a prevention tool
for the safety of your buildings
Multiple areas of application
Video surveillance involves capturing video images of a specific area using a network of one or more cameras.
The images are filmed permanently or at predefined times and are transmitted either live to viewing screens or to a central location where they are recorded and stored.
The system can be integrated into a more comprehensive hypervision system and enhanced with tools such as motion detection.
There are many reasons for installing a video surveillance system, depending on the objectives of each individual:
- Instead of human surveillance
- Intrusion or object movement detection
- Access control means
- Remote doubt removal in the event of an alarm
- Assistance with investigations after an event (theft, accident, fire, etc.)

Video protection or video surveillance?
The two terms refer to the same safety system. One or the other is used depending on where the cameras are installed.
The term “”video surveillance”” is used when cameras are installed in private premises, such as shop stocks, warehouses or offices.
The term “”video protection”” is used when the system is installed in a public place or a place open to the public without specific authorisation: a street, a railway station, a bank, a shopping area, etc.
What you need to know
Not compulsory but strongly recommended
The installation of a security system is not legally compulsory (with the exception of OVIs).
However, video surveillance remains one of the key elements in site protection. In fact, it is being used more and more frequently, following the increase in terrorist attacks, malicious acts and thefts.
The presence of cameras reassures employees who feel unsafe. It also deters intruders and offences.
Strict rules to follow
If you wish to install video surveillance cameras, you will need to take the necessary administrative steps to obtain authorisation for their installation and comply with certain standards to ensure that the privacy of those being filmed is not violated.
Examples of rules to follow:
- Store images in a secure location maximum 30 days
- Inform the persons concerned that they are being filmed and authorise them the right of access to the images
- Explain the use of video surveillance by the safety of property and people
Les textes réglementaires à respecter
- Video protection falls under the Internal Security Code (ISC)
- Video surveillance falls under the Labour Code and article 9 of the Civil Code on respect for privacy.
- The RGPD (General Data Protection Regulation) subject to control by the CNIL (Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés – National Commission on Information Technology and Freedoms).
- The APSAD R82 installation rule established by the CNPP (Centre national de prévention et de protection – National Centre for Prevention and Protection)
- The Guide “Recommendation on securing physical access control and video protection systems” from ANSSI (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information – National Agency for Information Systems Security)
