How will the site survey set the retention duration and access controls?

Commercial CCTV Design and Installation · 2026-09-16

During the site survey, we map each zone by risk, access, and usage to determine retention durations. This helps decide how long footage should be kept in different areas—shorter for general areas, longer for entrances or high-value assets—and what storage method fits (on-site recorder, networked storage with security, or compliant cloud). We also spell out who can access footage and under what permissions, and how privacy controls apply. After the survey, we draft a CCTV retention plan as part of the design package for your review and sign-off before handover.
