mafya Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If you wish to use as evidence I believe you need to have warning signs on your property or the police will not use it Domestic property's are exempt= http://www.servicemagic.co.uk/resources/data-protection-act-cctv-cameras-and-the-law/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only obstacle to using it as evidence is quality. It needs to be good enough to see what you need to identify. ---------- Post added 16-03-2015 at 16:25 ---------- Also be carefull not to have them filming over your boundary without auth .

The boundary issue only arises if you deliberately point it to someones property in order to record them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Milliardo, as the crucial aspect of what you want to do is catch them in action (without them knowing) try to mount the camera covertly. You could build what looks like a bird- house or dog kennel to house the camera in. (With cam lense just peeping through a small hole in the back of the kennel). Sometimes "small size" is appropriate in choosing a camera. Edited March 16, 2015 by Janus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeedNoMore Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Please elaborate I have first hand knowledge of police refusing cctv evidence due to lack of warning signs on a domestic property On 15 occasions in the last 4 years i have handed cctv recordings to the police (syp and wyp) and 7 of those recordings have resulted in sentences for the accused. one got 8 years. At no time were warning notices an issue and believe me if it was a legal issue id know because my footage wouldnt have been used as i have no warning signs. Some of my systems have sound too and one such recording with sounds has proved vital to the CPS as it was the only one with sound and proved incredibly useful in crown court. Trust me, signs arent needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it is unintentional ie my camera looks down my drive and catches the across road neighbours front door. A couple of years ago he complained to the police saying I may be watching his comings and goings. The police came out and after viewing the cctv monitor told him I wasn't doing anything wrong.
