It’s difficult to dispute the effectiveness of video surveillance in thwarting crime at a place of business or private residence. Visible video cameras are a great deterrent in the battle against shoplifting, robbery and burglary, and covert cameras are effective tools in helping to identify and prosecute those responsible for ripping you off. But before you start installing camera mounts and running video cables through your ceilings, it’s a good idea to brush up on surveillance laws. Although only 16 states have passed statutes that specifically address the issue, it’s important to follow some legal guidelines when setting up your surveillance system – regardless of which state you’re in.
