CCTV is a very important
surveillance device that can help boost factory security to a great
extent. All the security-sensitive areas will be covered by CCTV.CCTV helps the
factory in finding out incidents which occurred earlier by means of playing
back its recordings-The factory security department will be responsible for
broadly and the security manager particularly responsible for the fu4nctioning
of the CCTV.
Locations: CCTV will be placed in all the security-sensitive
areas. Especially finishing and packing section along with the vehicle
loading/unloading will be covered by CCTV. In addition, the perimeter fencing
will also come under video surveillance to track down any illegal trespassing.
Monitor: The CCTV must be monitored closely. The monitor must
be placed under the jurisdiction of the security manager. In case the manager is
out somewhere; he will depute somebody else from his own department to monitor
the CCTV.
Recording: CCTV recording must be done and kept for a period
of 45 days. The hard disk of the nominated CPU for CCTV must have adequate
space to record for the mentioned duration. Retention of the recordings of the
time beyond 45 days is not necessary.
Camera
Angle: The camera angle should be
installed in such a way so that there is no obstruction of view by any tree or
any other structure. The camera must have the ability to scan around to gather
maximum evidence of any incident, should it over happen.
Maintenance: The camera must be periodically maintained so as
ensure its function ability. The description of its maintenance must be
documented in a register. The maintenance document must be reviewed by the
factory periodically.
