Will you be allowed to submit the recordings to the police ?
Don't you have to put a sign up saying you are recording ?
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).
It seem that there is no legislation or legal requirement.
