[jennywren]

I am going to put one in for security reason, but before I do that I'm sure there is rules and regulations that I have to do. I shall have read up I think most of the information is on the web. I'll only need a basic one, will have to chick to see in a need a TV. licence Nothing is simple any more, when I do there will be no more poking in the eye,

There are some affordable network/IP cameras these days that have apps for your phone (iPhone, Android, whatever) as well as viewing via your laptop. If you haven't bought yet, then it might be worth considering looking for one of those. I wish I'd thought about it before getting my home one (which is network only, but won't work on my iPod Touch/iPad or Android phone).

I don't have a mobile, I have a phone at home and phone in work, so I've never had the need for one. I shall leave it to him, he's a gadget freak, he just love them, but Darren one of his workers he generally sets up all my pc and printers ect, and he know what I need and tell me and then does it. But I am lucky that he is boffin and all i have to pay for is the equipment which will be cost price thanks to brother generous nature. ( and he loves to show off )

With CCTV you don't need a tv license as far as I aware as you are not receiving channels. You do need to put signage up though stating that CCTV is being monitored on the premises. You have to also be aware of what you are monitoring, so you can't record inside the changing rooms/toilet area etc (common sense really). Depending on the size of your shop 2 cameras may suffice, 3 probably better. 1 camera to solely focus on faces of people as they enter the shop and the other 2 to monitor the shop. Also make sure where ever you store the system its not easily found. Not much good recording everything if someone can easily remove the recorder lol.

As already mentioned loads of half decent CCTV kits around now, we bought one recently which was from Maplins. I can't see it on there website now but it was £250/£300 3 cameras, 500gb HDD and you could connect it to the network which could be viewed from a PC/IPHONE/Android phone. We bought an extra mini camera that had a microphone built into it.

I'll tell him that he's prone to flatter. The heavens opened today down here and customers was very thin on the ground so your witty remark, brought a smile to my lips thanks

KK its mainly stores like currys/Pc world and they never told me to turn my camera off (which is iphone by the way)

I came to the personalisation business from photoprocessing, and the law is far from clear.
You do not own your own image. Antiterrorism law has been (wrongly) used by police to control photography in some circumstances, but as this law becomes clearer their grounds for doing so deminishes.
Civil law does not cover capture of images, only inappropriate use, - if for instance used in a slanderous way, or in a way that infringed copywrite.
Technology is evolving faster than the laws that govern its use, and it is commonplace to take pictures in public places, and on private land too. To my knowledge there are no laws that either permit or forbid this. Within shopping centres local 'rules' often forbid photography, and security can use it as an excuse to ask you to leave. No-one has the power to demand removal of an image, but if they ask, and it is done, then they win.
A great trick to prevent speedcameras photographing your rear numberplate was to mount a slave flashgun next to your numberplate, which would fire and saturate the speedcamera, but camera sensitivity is so high now that flash is usually not required.
I think any shop owner is well within their right to stop anyone taking photos in their shop, and have civil legal opportunity if those images are inappropriately used, but otherwise I don't think there is any law to help here.
As an aside, there is no legal requirement to request permission to use photos containing members of the public, or school kids, or any other legally captured image, but it is considered good practice (by underemployed administrators .....) to seek permissions anyway.
You are well within your rights to ask anyone to leave your shop, - for absolutely no reason whatsoever, - but generally, it isn't great for trade......
imho
