<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Jacob and Labnetwork members --<br>
<br>
We just installed some 30 video cameras throughout our cleanroom
and around the secured areas of our building (sub-fab and gas
vaults.) We have yet to learn to use them, but they look
promising for all the reasons everyone has listed. One question
for the Labnetwork: what kind of policy is in place for video
monitoring? Do you have a governing University or corporate
policy? Do you have a local policy as well? How are issues of
privacy and chain-of-custody of recordings handled? <br>
<br>
In this day and age, we can expect to be on camera from the time
we step out of our homes so I think most people don't have a
problem with video monitoring. The questions that have come up
are whether the images are publicly available and under what
circumstances will recorded data be made available to a requester.<br>
<br>
Working with our legal department and public safety, we've come up
with a local policy that we trust addresses the University
concerns as well as our local needs. But I am wondering how
everyone else manages this balance.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Here at DTU Danchip we
installed a video surveillance system around two years ago.
We have 48 cameras covering almost every corner of the
cleanroom. Most cameras cover more than one piece of
cleanroom equipment, but still have a sufficiently high
resolution to give a fairly detailed view of what is going
on at each tool. There are many benefits with such a system:

Not all our equipment is equipped with hardware locks yet,
and sometimes some users tend to “forget” to log their
usage. A video surveillance system has a preventive effect
and also helps catching cheaters.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">However, it takes quite
a long time to go through hours of video recordings, even at
32 times normal speed, so we only resort to these measures
in more serious cases.

skeptics, most users had nothing against the introduction of
the video surveillance system. In fact, most people
welcomed it as a measure of improved safety.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Good Day Everyone,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I would like to get
anyone’s perspective on the effectiveness of cleanroom video
monitoring systems. In our new cleanroom, we will have a
few security cameras mounted high on the wall with a bird’s
eye view of the bays. What we are considering in addition
to these are cameras directly mounted on each wet bench.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This is something I
remember being implemented at Harvard CNS back when I was a
user of their facility. I do remember being told that
adding these cameras to the wet benches reduced the number
of incidents that occurred and improved how tidy the users
kept the area. As most everyone here knows, wet benches in
cleanrooms are typically a source of ongoing battles in
cleanliness and as a result safety.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am curious what
people’s perspectives are on video monitoring in general, as
well as monitoring targeted areas, like wet benches. Also,
any recommendations on good camera monitoring systems are
welcome. We want to insure the safety of the users and
promote accountability in the lab, but also don’t want make
our users feel uncomfortable in the workspace.

greatly appreciated.
