Presumably the cameras are still recording, so security has not really been compromised.
However, you could propose a motion for your next EC meeting or, failing that, AGM that you get full coverage again.
When a committee member says, as they inevitably will, that this would be in breach of privacy laws, ask them to point out which laws. Basically, so long as you aren’t recording sound, there is no issue.
Fundamentally, this is all about what the majority of owners in your building want. If the community standard is that every coming and going should be observable from behind the virtual net curtain of CCTV, then they can choose that.
But if the majority wants their secret lovers, drug dealers, escorts and exotic dancers to come and go unobserved, then that is their choice too.
This has nothing to do with privacy laws and everything to do with democracy in its rawest form. For what it’s worth, I bet the golfers will lose and the drug dealers will win this one.
