Are there commercial CCTV rules and regulations I must follow?
Just as domestic properties must take care of CCTV use, so do companies using CCTV cameras for business.
First and foremost, commercial security cameras must follow Data Protection rules, to ensure compliance and to avoid a fine, reputational damage, and potential legal action.
These rules are clearly explored on the .gov website but generally include the following:
• Installing a sign to inform people that CCTV is in operation and explain its purpose.
• Providing recorded images to individuals upon request within one calendar month.
• Sharing footage with authorities, such as the police, upon request.
• Retaining images only for as long as they are needed for business purposes.
• Paying the applicable data protection fee.

How will commercial CCTV camera installation affect my business?
Generally speaking, business CCTV cameras are only a benefit for both your bottom line and employee satisfaction.
From reducing crime and improving the chances of prosecution to giving peace of mind and lowering your insurance costs, commercial CCTV systems really can do it all.
Of course, there will be an inherent cost associated with business CCTV installation but given the wide range of benefits, it will soon pay for itself.
