Description

The video surveillance system in Ecuador has recently become the focus of public scrutiny for issues ranging from the sale of data to overpricing and the frenzy of its use in a pandemic. Our proposal is to invite the participants to tell about the experiences in their countries on similar systems to establish differences or equalities in the practices

This panel is the beginning of a provocation to the analysis and comparison of practices for the use of video surveillance systems, and they will be able to continue contributing to the protocols on which we are working for the implementation of a framework of action for the video surveillance system in Ecuador.
