Looking for suggestions

[Floob 0]

Hi,

 

My property overlooks a carpark which is about 100 metres away, I'm looking for something that could be used to capture the boy racer behaviour that occurs at about 1am in the morning.

 

I have home Wi-Fi and though it would be good if I could hook it up to that - I was looking at the Panasonic range:

The carpark is fairly well lit at night if that is relevant.

Right off the top, I can tell you that what you're wanting to do WILL NOT be cheap. You're probably looking at MINIMUM of $1000 to do this well enough for it to give you anything other than a blur.

if you are in the uk. then ask ask your council to install one. you cant use the footage recording a public area. unless you get registered with the DPA.

Thanks for the heads up on the recording of public footage.

 

So the route would be to go down public nuisance?

hi. if you or who ever installs the system to view in a public space is not registered with the DPA. then 1 you will be braking the law. 2 you could be find £5000 upwards.

The car park is already covered by CCTV but the council seem reluctant to use the evidence to prosecute.

I guess I'll have to contact the councillors in relation to:

Hi. what council are you covered under ??? see the problem with the UK law is if the find the joy riders the max fine they will get is £80. but the council have a much bigger cost getting them to court in the first place.

 

its just the stupid UK law.

 

your council will be DPA. and this is also about to change. but here is the copy. http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/data_protection/detailed_specialist_guides/ico_cctvfinal_2301.pdf

You could also just go out there at 12:55am and strew a bunch of nails around the lot... (and make sure to go clean them up after the tow truck take the racer's car away).

Its very tempting....

 

I have just heard from my local councillors and they are going to try to take the matter further.

 

Heres hoping...

Sorry, residential CCTV means DPA does not apply in any way.

 

Your residential CCTV camera can be pointed at public areas, on private property or even your next door neighbour's land as you like (Under DPA)

i understand that but if his main purpose is to record on a public carpark i.e cars / people / not in connection with his private property . then yes it needs to be registered with the DPA.

Sorry Tom, I would suggest that if the system is installed as a residential system DPA does not apply and where the camera points is not relevant.

 

I did check this with the ICO some years ago when a tenant installed a camera to look at his car in a public space car park. The ICO's reaction was as it was a residential system this meant that they had no jurisdiction, end of discussion.

 

Incidently the same applies regarding communal CCTV systems as well.
