Each system installed must include appropriate signage and a Data Protection Incident Pack as part of the hand-over process.
A4 size advisory CCTV signage with Black text on Yellow background providing information compliant with the Data Protection Act must be fitted on the exterior of the building at, and adjacent to, all public access doors. The sign should consist of a camera pictograph and the wording ‘CCTV in Operation’, the name of the premises, and a contact telephone number.
