Initiatives on the Use of Video Products
Thank you for choosing Hikvision products.
Technology affects every aspect of our life. As a high-tech
company, we are increasingly aware of the role
technology plays in improving business efficiency and
quality of life, but at the same time, the potential harm of
its improper usage. For example, video products are
capable of recording real, complete and clear images. This
provides a high value in retrospect and preserving real-
time facts. However, it may also result in the infringement
of a third party’s legitimate rights and interests if
improper distribution, use and/or processing of video
data takes place. With the philosophy of “Technology for
the Good”, Hikvision requests that every end user of
video technology and video products shall comply with all
the applicable laws and regulations, as well as ethical
customs, aiming to jointly create a better community.
Please read the following initiatives carefully:
1. Everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy,
and the installation of video products should not be
in conflict with this reasonable expectation.
Therefore, a warning notice shall be given in a
reasonable and effective manner and clarify the
monitoring range, when installing video products in
public areas. For non-public areas, a third party’s
rights and interests shall be evaluated when
installing video products, including but not limited
to, installing video products only after obtaining the
consent of the stakeholders, and not installing
highly-invisible video products.
2. The purpose of video products is to record real
activities within a specific time and space and under
specific conditions. Therefore, every user shall first
reasonably define his/her own rights in such specific
scope, in order to avoid infringing on a third party’s
portraits, privacy or other legitimate rights.
3. During the use of video products, video image data
derived from real scenes will continue to be
generated, including a large amount of biological
data (such as facial images), and the data could be
further applied or reprocessed. Video products
themselves could not distinguish good from bad
regarding how to use the data based solely on the
images captured by the video products. The result
of data usage depends on the method and purpose
of use of the data controllers. Therefore, data
controllers shall not only comply with all the
applicable laws and regulations and other
normative requirements, but also respect
international norms, social morality, good morals,
common practices and other non-mandatory
requirements, and respect individual privacy,
portrait and other rights and interests.
4. The rights, values and other demands of various
stakeholders should always be considered when
processing video data that is continuously
generated by video products. In this regard, product
security and data security are extremely crucial.
Therefore, every end user and data controller, shall
undertake all reasonable and necessary measures
to ensure data security and avoid data leakage,
improper disclosure and improper use, including
but not limited to, setting up access control,
selecting a suitable network environment (the
Internet or Intranet) where video products are
connected, establishing and constantly optimizing
network security.
Video products have made great contributions to the
improvement of social security around the world, and we
