Vlad mentioned camera monitoring.
Is anyone currently doing that for ONL in Canada?

" I feel that we need a broad consensus on the measures applied. Below are the main questions we would like to have your opinion on:
1. Our methods of detection, although very advanced and ever-improving, can't provide a 100% confirmation. In many cases, the probability estimated is higher than the one for DNA tests. Do you believe a statistical algorithm (or a combination of those) giving close to 100% probability of cheating could stand as sufficient grounds for banning a player? If yes - what odds would you find sufficient?
2. Shall FIDE apply sanctions for alleged online violations to over-the-board-play (and vice versa)?
3. Shall we apply sanctions for alleged violations at platforms’ own events, and other unofficial online events, to official FIDE online events (and vice versa)?
4. Shall we publish the names of alleged violators after the very first conviction?
5. Shall the violators be punished retroactively, with their prize money, rating and titles been revoked for some period preceding the verdict? And, if yes, how far back should these actions go?
6. What would you consider a reasonable banning period for first-time violators, and for repeat offenders? How strict should be the measures in youth competitions?
There are many questions and some of them are related to the moral and legal aspects of the subject. Having a fair and transparent system will require a trusted framework. The worst thing to do would be to ban an innocent player. "

August 19 FIDE President address on anti-cheating policies.
I just posted the full letter from the FIDE president on the Chess and COVID thread before I looked over here and saw your post.
