Does the monitoring need to go through the public security organs?

Whether the monitoring needs to go through the public security organs depends on the specific situation:

1. If the surveillance video in the public security system is accessed, it generally needs the approval of the public security organ;

2. If the civil surveillance video is accessed, it can be accessed through consultation with the monitor, and generally does not require the approval of the public security organ, such as the surveillance video in the store and factory.

When the public security bureau detects a case, it can collect surveillance video for evidence collection. The public security bureau needs to issue relevant certificates to obtain evidence when collecting surveillance video. The public security bureau belongs to the competent authority and has the right to inquire. Law enforcement officers of the Public Security Bureau can show their work permits and inquiry books, and go to the bank counter to inquire about the bank card transaction records under the name of the criminal suspect. After verifying the identity of the inquirer and the inquiry book presented, the bank staff need to cooperate with the inquiry unconditionally. From all angles of monitoring equipment, monitoring facilities and equipment belong to all owners * * * and some * * * own facilities and equipment, which belong to the collective property of community owners. It is reasonable and legal for the owner to check the monitoring facilities and equipment in his own community.

Legal basis: Article 62 of the Procedures for Handling Criminal Cases by Public Security Organs.

When the public security organ takes evidence from the relevant units and individuals, it shall, with the approval of the person in charge of the case-handling department, issue a notice of taking evidence, stating the evidence taken and the time limit for providing it. The transferred unit, its agent and the individual holding the evidence shall sign or seal the notice. If the public security organ refuses to affix its seal or signature, it shall indicate it. When necessary, the content of evidence and the process of obtaining evidence shall be fixed by audio and video recording.

Article 63

Evidence materials, such as physical evidence, documentary evidence, audio-visual materials, electronic data, expert opinions, inspection records and inspection records, which are accepted by public security organs or obtained by administrative organs according to law in the process of administrative law enforcement and case investigation and handling, can be used as evidence.
