Installing CCTV on your property carries certain responsibilities under UK data protection laws. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 apply to most CCTV systems that capture images of people.

  • Residential CCTV systems covering only your private property typically have fewer requirements

  • Footage should be securely stored and deleted when no longer needed (typically 30 days)
  • Individuals have the right to request footage of themselves under subject access requests
  • Registration with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) may be required in some cases

Our installation team can advise on GDPR compliance specific to your CCTV system, helping ensure your security measures remain within the appropriate legal framework.

Most domestic CCTV installations do not require planning permission, but there are important considerations to ensure compliance with UK regulations and respect for privacy laws.

  • CCTV cameras installed on your own home generally don’t require planning permission
  • Cameras should be positioned to focus primarily on your property
  • If cameras overlook public spaces or neighbouring properties, additional privacy measures may be needed
  • Listed buildings or properties in conservation areas may require specific permissions
  • Commercial properties typically need to consider additional requirements
  • Cameras should be installed with consideration for the privacy of others
  • Compliance with the Data Protection Act and GDPR remains essential regardless

Our experienced CCTV installation experts will advise on optimal camera positioning that balances security effectiveness with regulatory compliance and neighbour relations.
