Video Surveillance Requirements

["Hudson, Edward" <ewhudson () CSUCHICO EDU>]

(Apologies for cross posting)
Our campus has a new student recreation center, run by our Associated Students.  The building has many surveillance 
cameras --  in the weight room, exercise class rooms, cardio room, outside the locker room, etc.  Currently the 
facility has NO sign on the front door indicating that the building is under video surveillance.

The AS is now interested in putting two of the video feeds on their public website so that students can check to see 
how busy the facility is, before they head over to work out.   The images are still (taken every 3 seconds) and only 
about 2 inches square.  However, if you look at the source code for the page you can navigate to the two cameras and 
zoom in on the images. The website is open to the public at large, not just the campus community.

We feel that having the images available to the public could raise privacy concerns and represents a personal security 
risk.  You could effectively monitor the comings and goings of individuals or simply 'watch' when they are exercising.  
We do not currently have a policy related to video surveillance, but think one is needed.  What issues do you think 
this situation presents?  Has anyone faced a similar situation? We have been told that there are legal requirements for 
signage however coming up short on an actual citation in that regard.
TIA
