Safemark - Securing Assets - CCTV / Video Protection

	EVIDENCE PROTECTION First, it is not uncommon for burglars to break into a building and the first target is the CCTV recorder and tapes to avoid detection. Second if your thefts are Inside Jobs, staff could tamper with evidence to avoid detection.
	DATA PROTECTION All CCTV recorded matter is covered by the Data Protection Act and you must secure this information so that unauthorised personnel don't gain access to it..
	CUSTOMER PROTECTION If a theft or abduction occurs on your premises, it may take time to come to light. It is vital only authorised access and correct tape rotation is controlled.
SUMMARY CCTV equipment and recorded material will be inadmissable as evidence unless you can demonstrate the information could not have been tampered with. Lightweight cupboards are NOT the answer - you need High Security for this data.
