This is great info. Does anyone know what the privacy rules are in regard to recording people in public spaces….specifically for outdoor cameras.

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">I'm the curator at the Chase & District Museum & Archives Society. We recently upgraded our security camera system in 2020. We use Telus for our internet, phone line, and security
alarm system so it made sense for us to use Telus Custom Security Systems for our cameras. We purchased a Hikvision set which can have up to 8 cameras (I think there were other systems which could handle more than 8 cameras as well). It has a 2 TB hard drive.
We also purchased a large surge protector/UPS which was recommended by Telus (uninterrupted power supply, acts as a battery back up in event of a power failure and surge protector, as well as taking stress off the hard drive). It is not connected through the
internet so even when I lose the internet for the computer the cameras still run. We purchased the system outright meaning we only had to pay a single cost for the equipment and installation through Telus. We only have to pay about $80 per service charge and
I've only had a couple of those. The total cost was $4,106.86 however, we asked the Village of Chase to cover this purchase as the Village owns this property and they agreed.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">Initially we only purchased 6 cameras but after our own vandalism incident a few months later, we purchased a seventh camera to cover a blind spot. We paid for the installation and
equipment ourselves this time which was $415.00 + tax. We also provided our own monitor so no extra cost there.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">I've found that their cameras are excellent and a remarkable upgrade from our previous system. They are able to capture a very wide view and they give a very clear image at 4 megapixels,
both in the daytime and at night (in lighted areas). We could have opted for upgraded night vision cameras (Dark Fighter) but as the outside of the building is fairly lit up and there are some street lights we decided we didn't need to. We have 5 on the outside
of the building, 1 inside our gallery, and 1 inside the historic cabin we have on the property. The system is very easy to use in regards to viewing previous footage and saves the footage for somewhere around 10 days (depending on if previous footage has been
saved to the hard drive). I've found that the outside cameras do need to be cleaned about once a year, particularly after winter/wet spring as the water (and anything trapped in it) dries and clouds the image. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">The best part of the system is that there's an app that can be downloaded for free (both iphones and androids) so that you can view the live camera footage at any time from anywhere!
I use it often in the winter to check the road conditions (if the parking stalls have been cleared, etc.). It's private so no one else can access it without a passcode and multiple people can have access to it (say for multiple employees). As I'm the only
employee here, it's just me with the app but I could give access to one of my more tech-savvy (and local) board members if they were interested.</div>

We are considering buying a new system of security cameras for our small museum after some incidents of loitering, frequent littering, and vandalism. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Our current system
is a set of simple wi-fi-connected cameras, but we are looking for something more reliable that will not go down if our internet is offline. Affordability is quite important for us as a small organization.</span></div>
