Common questions
Harborne HMO CCTV explained
Can CCTV be installed in HMO communal areas?
Yes, where there is a legitimate management or security purpose. Camera placement should avoid private rooms and unnecessary intrusion.
Do I need CCTV signage?
Clear signage is normally appropriate where tenants, visitors or members of the public may be recorded.
How long should footage be retained?
Retention should match the purpose and risk. The responsible landlord or manager should document and review the chosen period.
Can I manage several properties through the app?
Compatible systems can allow authorised users to access more than one property, subject to correct setup and permissions.
Are there monthly fees?
No compulsory monthly fee is required for the standard recorder and mobile app functions included with our systems.
