Discussion

Many VTC endpoints support Far End Camera Control (FECC). This feature uses H.281 protocol, which must be supported by both VTUs. Typically, this is only available during an active VTC session but could be available if the VTU is compromised or if a call is automatically answered. Allowing another conference attendee to take control of the camera can place the confidentiality of nonconference-related information at risk. FECC should be disabled to prevent the control of the near end camera by the far end unless required to satisfy validated mission requirements.

Ensure far end camera control is disabled unless required to satisfy validated, approved, and documented mission requirements. 

Note: The documented and validated mission requirements along with their approval(s) are maintained by the ISSO for inspection by auditors. Such approval is obtained from the AO or ISSM responsible for the VTU(s) or system. 

Determine if remote monitoring is required and approved to meet mission requirements. Have the ISSO or SA demonstrate compliance with the requirement.
