Data Protection Act 2018 may well apply to you as a data controller and for your devices to be compliant. You must demonstrate that you are collecting the video images or data in a way that complies and upholds the rights of people you are filming or recording. You need to be able to justify your reasons for doing so and be able to comply with any Subject Access Request you receive. This could include deleting stored images and audio data. If you breach the data protection laws, you may be at risk of legal action by those whose images or audio you have capture or for enforcement. If you believe you might be affected by data stored on a neighbour’s security devise, or are a data controller, you should seek advice.
