Frequently asked questions about CCTV Cert

Do I need to register my CCTV with the ICO?
If you use CCTV for business or organisational purposes that captures images of people outside your property, you likely need to register with the ICO and pay a data protection fee. Domestic/household use is generally exempt.
How long should CCTV footage be retained?
The ICO recommends retaining footage for no longer than necessary — typically 30 days for general surveillance. Longer retention may be justified for specific purposes. Your retention policy must be documented and applied consistently.
