SecurityInfoWatch, June 2, 2008: Convenience stores and small restaurants in Toledo, OH will now need to have security video systems in place. The camera systems will need to:
• Cover the cash register or area where monies are exchanged
• Be maintained to ensure it is working properly and have a light or other signal that indicates the system has been activated
• Produce a "recognizable, color, retrievable, enlargeable, and reproducible photographic images of persons" and that they be of sufficient clarity for identification purposes; remain fixed and not pan in the designated area
• And, the recorded images must be able to be retrieved by the police department's crime lab.
Tapes of recorded images must be maintained for 30 days and business owners are required to be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the time keeping in conjunction with what has been recorded.
The businesses must also post signage stating that the location is under video surveillance.
