Thomas 0 Posted September 11, 2004 Welcome to a legal grey area. Please consult a lawyer in your jurisdiction because the "but some guy told me this is legal on the internet" defense doesn't hold up well. Okay, Federal law requires one party consent for recording phone conversations. Some states require two party consent for any recording. As a general rule it's legal and you're on safe ground to record with your CCTV system but again, please consult a lawyer. Local laws can be very differant.
