Information about video surveillance systems
Alex Harris made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council
The request was successful.
From: Alex Harris
Dear Wellington Regional Council,
On 30 September, 3News reported that WRC had installed a new video surveillance system to target vandals on wellington's trains ("Wellington train surveillance targets vandals". 3News, 30 Sep 2014). I would like to request the following information under the LGOIMA:
* what video surveillance systems does the council control? For each system, I would like to know: its purpose, the system's capabilities, how long data is retained for, and whether it uses facial recognition or automated number-plate recognition technology.
I am not interested in video surveillance systems covering a single building (e.g. security cameras in WRC offices), unless they are networked with other systems. I am interested in systems which cover a wider area, e.g. traffic control cameras, or the rail system described in 3News' story.
I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
fyi.org.nz website.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Harris
