How soon will hotel video records be deleted?

The state requires hotel surveillance videos to be kept for at least 30 days.

According to the relevant national regulations, the storage time of hotel surveillance video should be at least 30 days. This is to ensure that the relevant surveillance video can provide effective evidence when investigation and review are needed. With the increasing demand for safety and investigation, the requirements in some areas have been raised to more than three months to ensure that the monitoring data can be used for a longer period of time. In case of emergency, such as major criminal cases or other emergencies, the relevant departments require the hotel to copy the video materials for long-term preservation and further investigation. This is to ensure that important evidence is not lost or tampered with. Hotel check-in records also have long preservation time requirements. If the opening records are uploaded to the public security system, they will be kept for a longer time to meet the needs of investigation and safety management of public security organs.
