The practical signal
A technical possibility to film everywhere does not mean that that location is needed for security. Especially cameras that are permanently aimed at workplaces require additional caution.
advice
Evaluate cameras and GDPR on the workplace
The use of cameras on a work floor affects employees and requires a demonstrable purpose, proportionate placement and clear agreements.
The control sequence
Determine which problem you want to solve, which zones are actually relevant, and which less invasive measure is possible. Also map access, storage time, and information for the involved parties.
What is smart to do
Aim cameras at entrances, goods, or safety risks where that supports the necessity and avoid unnecessary visibility of work behavior. Let policy and information align with the actual installation.
When it is completed
After installation, check the actual viewing angle, visible information, and who can access the images. Review the considerations when work processes or spaces change.
Frequently asked questions
Can a employer hang cameras everywhere?
