Minister of State, Minister of Interior and Land Management,
Having regard to Act No. 95-73 of 21 January 1995 on amended guidance and programming on security;
In view of Decree No. 96-926 of 17 October 1996 on video surveillance for the application of Article 10 of Law No. 95-73 of 21 January 1995 on security orientation and programming, as amended by Decree No. 2002-814 of 3 May 2002 adopted for the application of Article 21 of Law No. 2000-321 of 12 April 2000 and concerning the time limits creating an implicit decree of composition of 2006

The cameras are set, equipped and connected to the visualization system and, where appropriate, to the storage system, so that the images returned during the real-time or deferred-time visualization can meet the purposes for which the video surveillance system has been authorized.
The cameras have the technical characteristics adapted to the illumination conditions of the videourveille site.
The networks on which video streams transit provide a bandwidth compatible with the flow rates required for the transmission of images of sufficient quality to meet the purposes for which the video surveillance system has been authorized.
The networks on which video streams transit take into account the security of video streams, ensuring their availability, confidentiality and integrity.
The storage of video streams is done on a digital basis for video surveillance systems with eight or more cameras. This storage can also be done on another type of support. Storage of video streams is performed on analog or digital support for video surveillance systems with less than eight cameras.
Any digitally recorded video stream is stored with information to determine at any time of the video sequence its date, time and location of the camera.
For analog video stream recording systems, a device can determine at any time the date, time and location of the camera corresponding to the recorded images.
The digital recording ensures the integrity of video streams and associated data relating to the date, time and location of the camera.
The stored video streams from the cameras that, given their positioning and orientation, operate mainly in narrow plane, excluding those of traffic regulation, have an image format greater than or equal to 704 576 pixels. This format can be lower if the system allows the extraction of face thumbnails with a minimum resolution of 9060 pixels.
Other stored video streams have an image format greater than or equal to 352 288 pixels.
A minimum frequency of twelve images per second is required for the recording of video streams from cameras installed for one of the purposes mentioned in the II of Article 10 of the above-mentioned Law of January 21, 1995 excluding those of traffic regulation, and which, given their positioning and orientation, operate mainly in narrow plane and filter mainly streams of individuals on rapid displacement.
For recording other video streams, a minimum frequency of six images per second is required.
The storage system used is associated with a newspaper that keeps track of all actions carried out on video streams.
For digital systems, this journal is generated automatically in electronic form.
Video streams are exported without quality degradation:
For video surveillance systems using analog technology, a device determines the list of exported streams indicating the date and time of filmed images, their duration, the identifier of the cameras concerned, the date and time of export, the identity of the person who made the export.
For video surveillance systems using digital technology, an electronic export log, including the information cited in the previous paragraph, is generated automatically.
The registration system remains in operation during these export operations.
Physical export support is a non-reinscriptible and direct access digital support, compatible with the volume of data to be exported. In the case of large volumes of data to be exported, hard disks using a standard connector may be used. For digital video surveillance systems, software for the operation of images is provided on a digital basis, disjointed with data support.
The software allows:
1° Playing video streams without degradation of image quality;
2° Playing video streams in accelerated, backward, idle;
3° Image-by-image playback of video streams, stop on an image, save an image and sequence, in a standard format without loss of information;
4° The display on the screen of the camera ID, the date and time of the recording;
5° Camera search, date and time.
The Director General of the National Police and the Director General of the National Gendarmerie are responsible, each with regard to the execution of this Order, to be published in the Official Journal of the French Republic.
