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:
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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
