Our complex has video cameras in foyer entrances and common property garage areas for security , so basically on entry locations , all with lots of signs advising the video is in place. Residents are generally very happy with this security measure as it has assisted Police on more than one occasion when we experienced break ins. There has never been any security issues on the Common Property hallways on any floors. Images are not available for general viewing and images have only ever been supplied to Police when an event has occurred. The video security system was discussed and voted on by the Owners Corporation prior to installation several years ago. It has recently been brought to the attention of the Strata Committee that one owner has installed a camera on the door of their 4th floor unit that records other residents on that floor entering/leaving their units/elevator. They are not happy about being recorded and want the device removed as they believe it is an invasion of privacy. The unit owner refuses to remove the device and say its a security/protection measure and they are entitled to take this measure. Are they right? There are no signs advising video recording is occurring. Any advice would be appreciated .

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
