Your legal obligations
When you’re installing CCTV systems in Hereford, you must comply with UK data protection laws – this isn’t optional.
The Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR set strict rules about how you capture, store and use surveillance footage, and breaking these regulations can result in hefty fines and legal action against your business.
We’re here to help you understand the essential legislation you can’t ignore, ensuring your CCTV installation protects your premises while keeping you fully compliant with the law.
Crucial Legislation you cannot ignore as a Hereford business
When installing CCTV systems at your Hereford business, you must comply with specific UK legislation, though requirements may vary depending on your building type, sector and operational circumstances.
Relevant UK Legislation:
- Data Protection Act 2018 & UK GDPR – Governs how you capture, store and process footage containing personal data, requiring clear signage, legitimate purpose, proportionate surveillance and secure data handling with defined retention periods.
- Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 – Mandates that CCTV operators using surveillance for security purposes must be registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and comply with the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice.
- Human Rights Act 1998 (Article 8) – Protects individuals’ right to privacy, requiring businesses to balance security needs against privacy intrusion, ensuring cameras are positioned appropriately and surveillance is justified and proportionate.

Why CCTV Systems Installation is essential
CCTV systems have moved far beyond simple deterrence – they’ve become a non-negotiable layer of protection for any commercial operation in Hereford.
Crime doesn’t take a day off, and neither should your surveillance.
The CCTV benefits are clear: reduced theft, evidence for investigations, improved employee safety and operational insights that help you run a tighter ship.
But installation challenges – poor camera placement, inadequate coverage or substandard equipment – can undermine everything.
We design systems that actually work for your specific premises, considering blind spots, lighting conditions and compliance requirements.
Is your current surveillance truly protecting your business, or just ticking a box?
