  Closed-circuit television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CCTV is often used in areas where there is an increased need for security, such as banks, casinos, and airports.
The recent growth of CCTV in housing areas also raises serious issues about the extent to which CCTV is being used as a social control measure rather than simply a deterrent to crime, especially with the relationship to ASBOs.
CCTV critics see the most disturbing extension to this technology is the recognition of faces from high-definition CCTV images.

 Closed Circuit Television
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is a television transmission system in which live or prerecorded signals are sent over a closed loop to a finite and predetermined group of receivers, either via coaxial cable or as scrambled radio waves that are unscrambled at the point of reception.
CCTV is also used as a means of monitoring performance in the workplace; in 1992, according to an article in Personnel Journal, there were ten million employees in the United States whose work is monitored via electronic security systems.
Police use of CCTV security cameras in Britain has led to charges of civil liberties violations (Dawson,1994.) A 1978 survey on the topic of CCTV in the workplace found that 77% of employers interviewed supported the use of CCTV on the job.

In short, organisations using CCTV for anything other than the most basic of surveillance will have to comply with the DPA although not all their images will be covered in all circumstances.
If some of your CCTV activities are still covered you still need to comply with the DPA by making sure you have notified the Commissioner, having signs, deciding how long you retain images and making sure your equipment works properly.
Access to, and the disclosure of, CCTV images and the disclosure of images to third parties should be restricted and carefully controlled to ensure the rights of individuals are protected.

Use of CCTV as a crime prevention measured in England and Wales has soared from 100 cameras in 1990 to an estimated 40,000 cameras by the end of 2002, according to a new report by Nacro.
