CCTV register template
The columns CCTV Privacy Law Mapper reads, as a CSV with four invented rows. Fill it in, paste it back: every camera comes back with the laws at its site and the clauses behind each finding.

Your own column names work too: the mapper reads more than 200 header names, including the ones camera recorders and management software export (channel, device name, field of view, rules, events, NVR, retention, DPIA). No floor plans, positions or footage are needed. Never paste people's names; roles are enough.
