🔐 CCTV SECURITY — WITHOUT IGNORING PRIVACY
Thinking about installing CCTV at your home or business?
Security cameras can be a powerful tool for protecting people and property — but POPIA and privacy should form part of your CCTV planning.
Here are 3 important tips to keep in mind:
1️⃣ POINT YOUR CAMERAS WHERE THEY NEED TO BE
Focus cameras on your own property, entrances, driveways and areas that genuinely require security monitoring. Avoid unnecessarily recording your neighbours’ private spaces.
2️⃣ KNOW WHAT YOU’RE RECORDING — AND WHY
Have a clear security purpose for your CCTV. Don’t collect more footage or personal information than you reasonably need. Consider who can access recordings and keep them secure.
3️⃣ MAKE PEOPLE AWARE
Where appropriate, use clear signage to let visitors, customers and employees know that CCTV surveillance is in operation. For businesses, make sure your CCTV practices form part of your privacy and information-management procedures.
⚠️ POPIA is about responsible handling of personal information — not simply putting up a camera.
Want CCTV that gives you better security while considering privacy from the start?
