Doktor Jons: there is no specific regulation of any CCTV usage, and as such the Data Protection Act is still the most significant legislation that affects the widescale use of CCTV / IP Video systems here in the U.K.; but as with many things legal, it is less than perfect.
A significant percentage of smaller privately owned and operated camera systems are now deemed to be outside the scope of the act, and perhaps more worryingly, deliberate misuse of cameras in a 'residential' environment cannot be redressed by the Information Commissioner, as all domestic cameras are exempt under the current legislation (section 36 if my memory serves).
