17. Video surveillance

  • In order to provide secure and safe 24 hour access for members, video monitoring of the entrances and the main body of the building may be employed.

This does not alter the fact that you are responsible for your own safety if you chose to work alone in the building. It not possible to opt out of video surveillance installed for safety or security purposes.
  • A second form of potential video surveillance could be members projects that involve cameras. An example would be developing a an artificial intelligence project to identify objects. Such projects should not attach/record any personal information and a sign must be displayed to warn other members that images are being captured.
