VIDEO TRACKING ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM

Encrypted audit trail records operator's actions

The video tracking system generates key documents, tracks Subject Access Requests (SAR) time limits and identifies and locates relevant data for disclosure. Tape rotation management allocates specific tapes to a rotation, maintains correct rotations and generates lists of tapes needed for the next rotation. The system keeps track of key dates and warns of important events. Provision of a maintenance history identifies equipment fault patterns, analyzes fault time responses and helps a user schedule planned maintenance activities.

Features: wireless barcode scanner replaces paper-based logging; tamper-proof barcode labels printed with identification numbers are provided for users' VCRs and multiplexers.
