Those intending to apply for or renew a business permit must ensure that their establishment has a clearer and better-quality CCTV system to foil criminals. | dexcabalzaINQ

The CCTV camera to be installed should be able to stream both video and audio, and to capture high-definition analog, or at least 2 megapixels, which is equivalent to a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Each camera should have an auto-iris focus lens and an infrared range of at least 50 meters.

Its hard disk drive storage should have enough capacity to retain CCTV footage for a maximum period of three weeks, “in order to allow investigating authorities to properly retrieve backups of the data relevant to any incidents that occur.” They should be installed at recommended recording distances: 10 feet and above for general surveillance; 5 to 7 ft for facial recognition; and 3 to 4 ft for plate recognition in parking lots.When possible, the CCTV should have a backup system to ensure that the data are kept secure in the event of physical harm to the storage device, such as fire, earthquake, or deliberate tampering.

• Theaters, movie houses, perya, arcades, internet cafes, and other places of entertainment that draw a considerable number of customers.
