PeterJames Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 customer wants a camera to view across the road to watch their car at night, this view will have public footpath. Is this OK? CCTV used on your property will be exempt from the Data Protection Act unless you are capturing footage of individuals outside your property. However, regardless of whether your CCTV system is exempt, the ICO recommends that you use CCTV in a responsible way to protect the privacy of others. What if my camera captures footage of individuals beyond the boundaries of my property?You must consider whether it is necessary for your camera to operate beyond the boundary of your property. If your camera covers, even partially, any areas beyond the boundaries of your property, such as neighbouring gardens or the street, then it will no longer be exempt from the Data Protection Act (DPA) under the domestic purposes exemption. This does not mean that you are breaching the DPA but it does mean that you might need to take some steps to comply with it.

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 if its domestic then you can pretty much do as you like. Not any more, there was a thread a few months back about it. The domestic exemption only covers your property now.
