CCTV installation in London: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

You can usually install CCTV on your property without permission, but you must follow privacy laws. Don’t point cameras at areas outside your boundary unless you have a legitimate reason. Keep neighbours informed to maintain good relationships.

Renters

If you rent, you’ll need written permission from your landlord before installing CCTV. They may also set conditions, such as using non-permanent fixings or removing equipment when you leave. For shared buildings, check with the management company or residents’ association.
