However, literally the first google result on CCTV use in private dwellings.... Quote If your CCTV system captures images of people outside the boundary of your private domestic property – for example, from neighbours’ homes or gardens, shared spaces, or from public areas – then the GDPR and the DPA will apply to you. You will need to ensure your use of CCTV complies with these laws. That's from gov.uk, somewhat more autoritative than Wikipedia! I don't think the fact a trailcam is not a traditional CCTV system is relevant - you are capturing images outside of the boundary of your private property. In fact if you follow the link to the ICO page on 'Domestic CCTV systems - guidance for people using CCTV', it states Quote The phrase ‘domestic CCTV system’ refers to the use of any video surveillance equipment mounted or fixed on your home. It can include cameras fitted to doorbells. Definitions on Wikipedia or dictionaries have no force in law.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
