CCTV for Commercial Sites: Coverage, Storage & GDPR Basics (Radstock, Bath & Bristol)

A good CCTV system helps deter incidents and supports investigations—but only if it’s designed for your site and managed correctly. Here are the essentials for commercial premises in Radstock, Bath and Bristol.

Design for outcomes, not just cameras

• Identify risks: entrances, loading bays, high-value areas, and perimeter lines.

• Choose the right lens/position: ensure usable identification, not just wide views.

• Lighting matters: plan for night performance and glare control.

Storage and access

Retention periods, secure access, and reliable backups are key. Cloud vs on-site recording depends on bandwidth, risk and budget.

GDPR basics

Use clear signage, restrict access to footage, and document your purpose and retention policy. If you’re unsure, get advice before commissioning.
