agreed audio is a bad idea, however you can record anything (think speed vans) with the right signage but audio isn't that way. Recording Audio gets you into private convo concerns even with signs

that doesn’t help me as it implies with the correct signage you can record audio?

Yes

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

I'd be interested in the stance of this nowadays with the evolution of the likes of Nest, Arlo and Blink etc. 

Like everything virtually unenforceable now every man and his dog has this tat.

 

Look at what happened with illegal FM transmitters in cars, illegal but so many doing it they effectively had to legalise as they knew they couldn't enforce

Thanks James,

 

I’ll do some research into ico but if it’s ok I’ll advise them to update their signage, if not I’ll go and disable it, more than happy to tell them I’m wrong and shouldn’t have left it

Well put up signs saying your recording audio and see what happens. The fact that its not admissible in court would do it for me.

 

What about "The ICO doesn't like audio recording, you also have privacy issues recording audio"

 

News of the world was sued for recording peoples conversations without their knowledge.

You don't have to disable it unless they want you to 

I agree it’s the cheap end of the market but this tat is pretty good tat in my opinion, happy to be educated

I agree, the paperwork states audio is recording but I need to follow this up with what they need to do to be legsl
