As part of New Lambton Football Club’s training, coaching, officiating, playing, behaviour and promotions programs we have introduced the use of Veo cameras at some of our games. Veo Is a portable and affordable solution that enables Clubs to film matches automatically, without the need for a camera operator.
Footage is uploaded to Veo’s cloud platform where only persons authorised by the Club have access. The AI software also follows the action, automatically clipping goals, kick off, half time and full time.
We also take photos.
With instances of negative behaviours at games escalating in their severity, we also believe that the use of cameras shall also assist the Club in better managing these matters.
Through making the Veo camera and platform available, New Lambton FC hope to improve the standard and experience of training, coaching, officiating, playing, behaviour and promotions in the Club.
Veo is designed to focus on interactions and events during the game to help improve the quality and nature of formative feedback provided to players, and officials and coaches reflections on gameday practice, and thus improve the quality of officiating and coaching experienced by the players. The video will be used for participant feedback and staff development purposes, as well as for investigating any reports of negative behaviours.
In Australia, generally speaking, there is no law restricting photography of people (including children) in public spaces as long as the images are not:
- indecent
- being used for voyeurism or made for the purpose of observing and visually recording a person’s genital or anal region
- protected by a court order (eg. child custody or witness protection)
- defamatory
- being for commercial purposes (person’s likeness is used to endorse or entice people to buy a product)
As part of the Club’s Registrations, the following consent is sought: “I agree and consent to New Lambton FC, their facilities and its media partners filming, photographing and recording my image and / or voice (“the Footage”) for the purposes of improving the quality and nature of formative feedback provided to players, and officials and coaches reflections on gameday practice. The Footage will be used for participant feedback and staff development purposes, as well as for investigating any reports of negative behaviours. It may also be used for promoting any New Lambton FC related activity and I understand that I will not receive any compensation or payment or any form of remuneration now or in the future in consideration for the above consent.
I accept that New Lambton FC and any of New Lambton FC’s media partners will own these images and all related Footage and will only use them for the purposes outlined above.”
