Surveillance and Monitoring

Surveillance and monitoring involve the continuous observation and collection of information about individuals, organizations, or environments to ensure safety, security, or compliance. Surveillance typically uses cameras, sensors, or digital tools to oversee activities, while monitoring involves tracking specific data or behaviors, such as network traffic or health metrics. Both are employed in various contexts, like security systems, public health, or industry, to identify issues, prevent threats, or improve performance. They help maintain safety and efficiency but also raise important considerations about privacy and ethical use.
