If you want to install a surveillance camera on your private property, it is crucial that only your own property is monitored. It is not permitted to film the neighboring property, shared access routes or shared driveways. If you only want to monitor the interior of your private home, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not apply. Even in a rented apartment, the landlord cannot prohibit you from using a surveillance camera indoors.
However, as soon as outdoor areas, such as the sidewalk in front of the window, are recorded or the recordings are to serve as evidence of criminal offenses (for example, in the event of burglary or theft), the data protection provisions of the GDPR must be observed.
Weber Protect GmbH is available to provide you with expert advice and support when setting up surveillance cameras.
