Condominium security alternatives to video surveillance

Residential communities facing theft or vandalism in common areas, such as garages, can utilize advanced anti-intrusion systems as alternatives to video surveillance. These technologies allow for the detection of critical events and anomalies without capturing images of individuals, thereby avoiding the collection of personal data.

Using non-visual security systems helps residential administrators comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Specifically, these methods align with the principles of data minimization, privacy by design, and privacy by default as defined in Articles 5 and 25 of the GDPR. By opting for sensors and alarms instead of cameras, condominium assemblies can simplify legal requirements and avoid the complex obligations associated with managing video footage and privacy rights.
