How to Set Up Camera Monitoring Policy in miniOrange DLP
Monitoring user surroundings during sensitive operations or compliance-driven tasks is essential for critical security-focused organizations. miniOrange DLP's Camera Monitoring Policy enables administrators to activate webcam captures at configured intervals to gain contextual visibility during device usage. This feature helps detect unauthorized access, potential insider threats, or non-compliance with workplace guidelines. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough to configure camera policies, assign them to target devices, and review captured images via the miniOrange DLP console.
Prerequisites
There are a couple of things you need to check before you start with the setup:
- You need Administrator privileges to log in to the miniOrange DLP Admin Dashboard.
Step 1: Configure the Camera monitoring policy
- Log in to your DLP Admin dashboard.
- From the left sidebar, click on Device Policies.
- Click on the Camera Monitoring tab.
- Click the Create Policy button to set up a new camera monitoring policy.
Step 2: Setup Policy
- Name: Provide a relevant name (e.g., "Webcam Compliance Monitor").
- Interval: Specify the time interval for webcam image capture (e.g., every 15–60 minutes).
- Use the search box to find the devices and select the ones you need and apply the policy.
- Optionally, can enable the Show selected only toggle for reviewing selected devices.
- Once the name, interval, and devices are selected, click Add to save the policy.
Step 3: Reporting
- Go to Reporting → Device Photos to access all webcam captures
- In the left panel under the Screenshots tab, you can search the screenshots taken based on device and filter based on date.
- Use filters to narrow down images by device, timestamp, or date range.
- Each image is labeled with a timestamp and device ID for easy tracking.
- Captured images are securely stored and accessible only to authorized admins.
