Notes

  • Gaming commission requires uninterrupted recording — alert immediately on any camera failure
  • Archive footage requests require written authorization from Surveillance Director
  • 90-day minimum retention is a hard regulatory requirement — do not modify retention policies
  • Patching: Only during scheduled maintenance with Surveillance Director approval
  • Contact: Surveillance Team (24/7 on-call)
