Tonka54 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 You most definitely do not need anybody's permission to put CCTV cameras on your own property. the proviso is that they only cover your property, the cameras should not overlook anybody else's property or indeed the public highway or street. Having said that, there has been several occasions when the police have knocked my door and asked if by any chance, my cameras had picked up a street incident, so I don't think they are that strict about the rules if nobody complains.

shalfordninja33 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I put some up when my house was renovated. The government has some guidance in the link below; https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-cctv-using-cctv-systems-on-your-property/domestic-cctv-using-cctv-systems-on-your-property I also have a small window sticker, which i dont believe is a requirement but the installer advised me to add it.

Dougy Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Your neighbour sounds a bit of a wally. Are they closet naturists ? I would ask him myself. What's his Mrs like 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjaferret Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 No you don't need permission. Mine overlook part of the road and the police have used them on numerous occasions. You need a sticker or sign if you may ever need the footage for court supposedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know Loughborough was such a rough area Joking apart, just good manners not to put your cameras looking at other folks area without their permission. Good neighbours would normally keep an eye out on each other anyway but times have changed. What you do on your own property is your business unless it is crinimal..

LOL Loughborough is generally not to bad apart from a couple of housing estates and the town centre at night, Unfortunately I live just over the road from one of these estates and from time to time we do get a bit of street crime, but for some reason the local scallies don't tend to **** on their own doorstep. The estate I live opposite has ironically been named the "poets estate" , but in my opinion "little Beirut" would have been more appropriate.

bruno22rf Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 No you don't, but make a point of mentioning that, although you can see/record anybody approaching his property, if any damage or theft from his property occurs you will ensure that any evidence is wiped immediately as they are so anti.

Dave-G Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Haha, neighbours on one side is a small time home selling car dealer in his spare time, has cameras looking over my front after asking me: to which I said 'aim it straight across my front to monitor our cars too please' The Asian on other side had someone out three or four years ago to quote and I heard him ask if he could aim it over my rear fence to be told no he's not allowed to do that.

JDog Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) There is a very recent Court case which decided that security cameras with microphones which intrude on a neighbour's privacy are unlawful. Look up Woodard v Dr Fairhurst. Edited January 13, 2022 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spr1985 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 When it comes to cctv it’s a mine field. I used to install it along with secure entry systems etc, as soon as your cctv system can capture anyone other that members of your household within your boundaries it is covered by gdpr, the operator (the home owner/anyone that can access and Or operate the system) becomes a “data controller” if the system can see beyond your boundaries it’s a requirement to have signs to notify the people that could be seen that they are in view of cctv. if you’d like to do some reading :- https://www.labelsource.co.uk/news/post/cctv-what-the-law-says-about-declaring-surveillance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh1 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 If you position your cameras so they only capture images within your property boundries, then you do not need stickers and you are not bound by GDPR, even if persons who are not your family members are captured because they have entered your property.https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/domestic-cctv-systems-guidance-for-people-using-cctv/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
