Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What message should CCTV signs communicate?

CCTV signs should clearly communicate the use of video/audio devices on your property. These signs intend to warn potential criminals, discourage illegal activities, and inform the general public about their actions being recorded.
The message can also state that video surveillance is carried out 24x7 and include a warning about prosecution.

Q. Is it compulsory to post CCTV signs?

Video surveillance is largely legal in the US, with some states focusing on not compromising privacy. Although there are no specific laws or regulations that mandate the use of CCTV signs, it is highly recommended to do so to increase the effectiveness of your CCTV security measure and to gain a certain level of protection from liabilities and possible lawsuits. Your state and county laws will have more specific information about surveillance in public and private places.

Q. I have secured my property with CCTV cameras. Why should I post a CCTV sign?

CCTV signs send out a strong message about your serious intent to prevent crime and warn potential lawbreakers about their actions being recorded, thereby proactively preventing unlawful activities.
These signs also let other people know that video and audio recording devices are in use, and give you a certain level of protection from potential legal liabilities and actions.

Q. Where should CCTV signs be posted?

CCTV signs should be posted within normal eye range where they will be easily visible and where there is adequate lighting. Ideally, you should post these signs at all the entrances and approaches to your property in a way that they don’t obstruct the way.
The signs should be installed in/close to the areas that are under surveillance. The idea is to let people know that they are being watched.
