tomcctv 190 Posted April 15, 2018 Hi. Yes you are allowed ...... But don't put up and signs what do you mean by dont put up and signs? In the uk if you put signs up then your cameras become public space cameras which means you have to register them No signs and there domestic cameras no laws ...... Unless over looking into private space of someone else Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless over looking into private space of someone else so as this car park is public and where i park my car i can lawfully watch it on cctv if i dont have signs up but if i do have signs i have to register my ccctv and can still watch over the car park with no problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted April 15, 2018 DPA is a mine field ...... I would keep it simple No signs keeps your system private Put signs up and you system becomes public space. If something happends not related to you with having signs up they can ask for your dvr footage. Only because you have told public cctv is available via placing signs in public......the police can even take your recorder away over something not related to you. No sign ....... police can’t take and public can ask you for footage It’s up to you if your cctv footage helps others Keep your system private no signs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OMGitsDMC 0 Posted April 21, 2018 decided to register my cctv with the ICO that way i've got my back covered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted April 21, 2018 decided to register my cctv with the ICO that way i've got my back covered Bad choice Why ask if you don’t listen. Make it public and you need to be sure your system is working. And you can’t refuse anyone who needs footage I would not register your system. Also on register it works the opposite ... people can now ask you to remove cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
