There are certain legal implications that you will need to take into account
when installing a hidden CCTV camera. There
are laws that protect the privacy of every human being and you will need to
take the privacy of both your employees and visitors to your premises into
consideration when installing a hidden CCTV camera. You will
not be able to install the cameras in areas such as bathrooms or dressing rooms
where the privacy of a person could become an issue. A hidden CCTV camera can
however be placed outside the entrances and exits to these areas.
You may also need to make people aware of the fact that they be monitored
by a hidden CCTV camera. You can simply put up signs to inform people that
your premises are being monitored by CCTV surveillance cameras and that the
images are likely to be viewed in real time as well as recorded. This type
of signage will assist you in deterring people from committing any crimes while
they are on your premises. Should a crime be committed, the recorded footage
from a hidden CCTV camera can then be used to prosecute the
offender.
It may also be a good idea to get your employees to sign some sort of indemnity
form. This will help protect you in the event that any footage may infringe
upon the privacy of one of your employees. An employee who has signed an indemnity
form will be aware that they may be monitored by a hidden CCTV camera while
they are at work and they will not be able to take any legal action against
you for the infringement of their rights. None of these implications are necessary
when you install a CCTV in clear sight.
Make sure that you are aware of the legal implications involved when you install
a hidden CCTV camera on your premises to assist with your
security measures and simply contact
