Data protection

As individuals become more aware of their rights under the Data Protection Act, so more and more local authorities are being requested to supply all the video information they hold on a specific person. To efficiently address these requests without it costing a fortune and taking weeks of someone’s time to locate the relevant information, means storing and managing data in a way that it can be easily retrieved and presented.

However, the situation is not quite that simple. In releasing the information on one individual, you must ensure that you do not transgress the privacy rights of others on the video.

In addition, you may have security issues about giving too much information on the location of where the person’s image was collected. So, the video you present needs to be properly masked to ensure the needs of everyone involved are met. A potentially time-consuming and expensive task, for which you receive no reward.

Scyron is helping a number of organisations meet their Data Protection Act responsibilities by:

• Reducing the time and cost associated with the retrieval and presentation package
• Ensuring video information is properly captured, managed and stored
• Automatically analysing hours of video footage
  
• Delivering an easy to use video editing suite that allows for the quick camouflaging, masking and highlighting of people, objects and backgrounds
