Discussion

in banks etc. are often more than one surveillance cam, so the whole area should tagged as being under surveillance, not only each cam ...

imho would be beneficial to be able to add details about the owner of the camera (surveillance_owner=?) Atomoil 00:57, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
also Proposed features/Surveillance points to using website=* when the camera is available as a webcam (although personally I'd prefer uri:webcam=* as discussed in Proposed_features/External_links) Atomoil 00:57, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm considering new ways of looking at this. We could choose surveillance=* with * being the web address leading to the webcam. We could also choose website:webcam=*. Logictheo 10:50, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Values

All cameras should be tagged with all available contact information via the contact=* and operator=* tags.

Key	Value	Comment	Photo
surveillance	indoor	buildings with surveillance, indoor-use (banks, museums, ...), typically with more than one cam
surveillance	outdoor	Courtyard under surveillance (possibly with more than one cam). Example: train stations, fuel stations, parking areas, door signs.
surveillance	public	surveillance cams on public places, generally controlled or delegated by some governmental organisation, like on market places, `highway=pedestrian`
surveillance	traffic	Surveillance cams to ensure the unobstructed operation of car traffic.
~~surveillance~~	~~red_light~~ Use Relation:enforcement instead!	~~Surveillance cams for prosecute red light driving of crossings.~~
surveillance	~~level_crossing~~ Use Relation:enforcement instead!	~~Surveillance cams for prosecute crossing level_crossings without stopping. (Seen & mapped one of them in Lithuania)~~
~~surveillance~~	~~speed_camera~~ use Relation:enforcement instead!	Surveillance cams for prosecute speeding. Either as single points or for section controle. Should slowly replace `highway=speed_camera` for single points and `amenity=speed_trap` (Proposed_features/Speed_trap) for section controle, both has to be used parallel for a while.

surveillance	transportation	Surveillance in busses and trains to ensure the unobstructed operation of public transport.
surveillance	webcam	A private camera that is reachable via Internet. In addition `contact:webcam=*` should be used.
