Certifications and approvals
General Data Protection Regulation
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is
enforced on the 25th of May 2018. As a regulation it
will be directly applicable to all EU member states
without the need for national implementing legislation.
As information captured, processed and stored by
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:
u Bosch video at its best - the best user-experience
combining Bosch cameras with BVMS.
u Integration - integrate third-party cameras, storage
and further systems into BVMS .
u IT environments and data security - benefit from full
IT compatibility from installation to day-to-day
management in a secure way.
