video surveillance systems is classified as "sensitive"
the GDPR will cause significant impact on the video
surveillance installations throughout Europe.
BVMS includes the required functionality to ensure an
organization can be GDPR compliant, which is further
explained in the BVMS - GDPR document, which can
be found on the following web page:
Bosch Building Technologies Community.
