fattony Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi Ive been working with some Dauha IP cameras and realised quite last minute that they are recording audio as well as video. The building is a multi tenanted building with the cameras in landlord areas, the client requested the audio was recorded as it may be handy at some point. Im not sure what the legal aspect is for this, should I advise they need to update their signage or is this 100% illegal and should be disabled, if so I’m surprised that it comes enabled by default thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The ICO doesnt like audio recording, you also have privacy issues recording audio, plus it would probably render the CCTV evidence as not admissible in court due to the signage not providing the correct warnings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
