Many sites already have cameras that nobody watches continuously. AI video analytics can pick out events for a person to review. Before switching it on, there are a few decisions to make.
Personal data
Video that identifies people is personal data under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act. That has consequences for notices, access and how long footage is kept. Check current guidance from the Personal Data Protection Commission and take advice if your use is unusual.
Decisions to make first
- The purpose: which events you want to find, and why.
- The notices: how people on site will know cameras are in use.
- Retention: how long footage and event clips are kept.
- Access: who can view footage and alerts.
- Review: who confirms an alert before action is taken.
Keep a person in the loop
An alert is a prompt, not a verdict. Have an operator confirm the event, then create the task. That keeps decisions with people and gives you a record of each step.
Turn the alert into work
An alert that nobody acts on has no value. Swipetask Detect connects each confirmed event to a task, an owner and a record, using compatible cameras you already own.
