According to the relevant provisions of the "Property Service Contract" and the "Property Management Regulations", the surveillance video equipment is the facilities and equipment shared by all owners of the community.
Therefore, from a legal point of view, property owners do have the right to view the monitoring, which is based on their right to know and supervise the equipment of the common facilities. However, this viewing is not unlimited.
In practice, owners who want to view the monitoring cannot do it at will, and must follow certain procedures. For example, if the rights and interests of individual owners are involved, or if the monitoring data related to related matters is to be copied, the owner can apply to the public security organ for extraction or copying.
In addition, in order to protect the privacy of other owners, generally speaking, the parties need to fill in some written materials and sign them.
It is important to note that although the owner has the right to view the surveillance, this right does not equate to being free to make the surveillance content public. For example, a property owner's act of releasing surveillance footage to the public after discovering someone else's dog urinating in a common area can be controversial.
In general, the right of owners to view the surveillance has boundaries, and it is necessary to find a balance between respecting the privacy of others, protecting personal rights and interests, and maintaining the harmony and stability of the community.
