Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This reference sets the floor and ceiling for keeping footage and maps GDPR, BIPA, CCPA and NIST SP 800-88 to what deletion must achieve. Our seven-volume handbook covers the system side: Volume 7 on biometrics regulation and compliance, Volume 1 on encoding and storage of recorded video, and Volume 6 on analytics data that falls under the same rules. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
