Is it illegal for property companies to prepare surveillance videos for owners?

Legal analysis: it is not illegal, but it violates industry regulations. The monitoring place is very important, and no one is allowed to enter. It is stipulated that only staff or public security personnel can enter the monitoring room to watch and copy the monitoring records, and make a good watch record.
