Enhanced security for businesses and public authorities
With the new rules, companies, public authorities and others authorized to monitor areas with general traffic will have a significant expansion of their surveillance capacity. One of the most important changes for businesses is the extension of the distance requirement for CCTV surveillance. The distance requirement has been extended from 30 to 100 meters from the point on the facade where the camera is mounted. This provides a larger surveillance radius, which can help improve security and prevent crime more effectively. The change will come into effect on July 1, 2024.
Why is the extension of the distance requirement important?
The purpose of the change is to create safer neighborhoods and increase security in vulnerable areas. It can also help police and security authorities to respond to criminal activity and contribute to subsequent investigations. It is part of a broader strategy to combat gang crime and protect citizens.
Have you remembered to register all your surveillance cameras in POLCAM?
Although it is already a legal requirement for companies, public authorities, associations, religious organizations, etc. to register their surveillance cameras, the police suspect that not all cameras are registered. If your company has not yet registered all cameras, it can be done right now
