Video surveillance retention period
Thread Content
The company is undergoing an external inspection, and our requirement for data retention is 30 days; however, the inspection team has requested that the data be retained for 90 days. Does anyone know which specification, standard, or requirement mandates the 90-day period? Or are there any specific requirements in place regarding this at present?
There are no rules; they can just say whatever they want
Reference can be made to the following standard AQ 3035-2010 \"General Technical Specifications for Safety Monitoring of Major Hazardous Chemical Sources.\" The following clauses are mandatory: 4.9.5 Storage period – During periods of stable operation without any alarms, real-time monitoring data from key monitoring points should be stored for at least 7 days; otherwise, it should be stored for at least 30 days. Audio and video information should be retained for more than 7 days. Alarm information should be retained for over 1 year.
Due to storage limitations, we save daily screenshots for data from over half a year
If you don’t want to increase the hard drive capacity, you can set the quality and frame rate lower, which will reduce the video size and extend the storage time. Otherwise, one can only buy a few surveillance hard drives and add them in~~:lol
Adding storage media is no problem; I just want to figure out which standard requires it.
There are too many such experts; just say whatever they want, and buy a few hard drives and that’s it~~
The standards are merely the minimum requirements; since they have put forward such suggestions, there must be their reasons for it, which is to add more hard drives. To maintain harmony, just increase it.
The purpose of posting this discussion is to seek support for standardizing the system. These days, there are many external inspections as well as numerous experts and critics. Each inspector has different requirements; some of them are easy to meet, while others are difficult to fulfill at once. Moreover, some inspectors may have requirements that are even contradictory to each other, which puts a lot of pressure on businesses. If it can receive authoritative regulatory and standard support from **, the industry, and other relevant parties, and if enterprises firmly comply with these standards, any non-compliance will be rectified.
What is said makes sense; of course, opinions that are backed by evidence are better. You can ask the inspectors what standards they are referring to, and inquire about what tools are required
