CCTV explained: surveillance in the workplace

Protecting and securing your business premises with the use of CCTV makes sense

Investing in a CCTV security system for your business should be your number one priority. Not only does it help to protect your premises 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from being targeted by thieves and vandals, it also protects your employees and you as a business owner.

The vast majority of businesses in the UK now use CCTV on their premises as a way of security and protection. The cost of CCTV installation is relatively cheap compared to being broken into and robbed, not to mention the cost to repair the damage they might leave behind.

Crime and vandalism in the UK is on the increase – CCTV does help to deter criminals and could prevent your business from becoming their next target.

CCTV cameras can be positioned inside the building to help protect staff and watch over specific areas, such as till points, entrances & exits and warehouses etc.. and can help to maintain your company’s health and safety regulations.

Outside cameras will monitor the activity around the building, on car parks, staff areas and the perimeters.

In the event of a crime being committed at your business premises, having CCTV evidence to give to the police could help in a prosecution case against the perpetrator/s.

Business CCTV and the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA)

If you have a CCTV security system installed at your business premises, you must comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) by following their 8 data protection principles of good information handling.

Your CCTV system also has to be registered with the Information Commissioner on an annual basis at a cost of £35 per year and warning signs must be displayed in and around your business premises to show that CCTV cameras are in operation. The signs must state the purpose of their intent and information about who manages the system and their contact details.
