24-7 Monitored Camera Security System
Cameras are installed in locations where staff and patrons would not have an expectation of privacy. Examples include common areas of the facility as entrances and exits, loading and receiving areas. Cameras may be installed in areas within the facility but not where staff and public have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as restrooms.
