The vision nocturne has become an essential tool for many professionals and amateurs in various sectors. However, its use is subject to precise legislation and specific conditions of use. In this article, you will learn regarding the current rules regarding the use of night vision, as well as the main conditions for using this tool. We will also discuss the different night vision technologies and recommendations for optimal and safe use.
Legislation
French legislation regulates the use of night vision to ensure the safety of people and the protection of personal data.
Night vision devices subject to authorization
Certain night vision devices, in particular those equipped with cameras, are subject to authorization by the National Commission for Computing and Liberties (CNIL). Indeed, the use of these devices can potentially infringe the privacy of the people filmed. To obtain this authorization, you must complete a declaration file with the CNIL, which will study the request and determine whether the use of the device complies with the legislation in force. It is important to note that the authorization granted by the CNIL does not exempt from compliance with the other applicable rules and regulations.
Use restrictions for certain professions
Certain professions have specific restrictions on the use of night vision. For example, private security agents are not authorized to use night vision devices during their surveillance missions, except by prefectural dispensation. Law enforcement, on the other hand, can use these devices as part of their missions, but must respect strict protocols to avoid violations of the rights and freedoms of citizens.
Night vision technologies
There are several night vision technologies, each with their advantages and disadvantages. We are going to go over them to help you better understand the differences between them.
night vision goggles
Night vision goggles work through a light intensifying process. They capture faint light sources in the environment (starlight, moonlight, etc.) and amplify them to provide a clear and detailed image. These devices perform particularly well in low light conditions.
Thermal cameras
Thermal cameras, on the other hand, use the heat emitted by objects and living things to create an image. They are particularly useful for detecting the presence of people or animals, even in total darkness. However, they cannot distinguish details of the environment like night vision goggles.
Conditions d’utilisation
The use of night vision must comply with certain conditions to guarantee the safety of users and third parties.
Training and skills required
It is recommended to follow specific training to learn how to use a night vision device correctly. This training will make it possible to master the functionalities of the equipment, to acquire the skills necessary for the maintenance of the device and to learn good practices for secure use.
Respect for privacy and data protection
When using night vision devices equipped with cameras, it is imperative to respect the privacy of individuals and protect the data collected. In particular, care must be taken not to film private areas such as homes or gardens and not to keep the images without a legitimate reason.
Responsible and ethical use
Finally, it is essential to use night vision responsibly and ethically. This implies not using these devices to spy on or harm others, and to respect the legislation in force.
The use of night vision is now subject to strict legislation and specific conditions of use to guarantee the safety of people and the protection of personal data. It is essential to be trained in the use of these devices and to respect the rules in force to take full advantage of the advantages of night vision while remaining within the legal framework.
