What a CCTV sign should say
The Information Commissioner's Office does not prescribe a format, but expects a CCTV sign to make four things clear: that CCTV is in operation, who operates it, why, and how to contact the operator. A sign reading only “CCTV in Operation” covers the first. To cover the rest, add your business or household name, a short purpose such as “for crime prevention and safety”, and an email address or phone number in the personalisation box — the Large and Extra Large sizes give the most room. If your system records audio, say so on the sign. The full position for homes, holiday lets, licensed premises, workplaces and public buildings is in our guide: Do I need a CCTV sign?
Frequently asked questions
Do I legally need a CCTV sign?
If your camera records anyone outside your own household — customers, guests, staff, or passers-by on the street — yes. UK GDPR requires that people are told they are being recorded, and a visible sign is how that is done. A home camera that only sees your own property is exempt, though a sign is still recommended.
Does it need to be at every entrance?
Yes — one sign at each entrance to a monitored area, visible before someone walks into the camera's field of view.
Can I add my company name and contact details?
Yes. Add them in the personalisation box and they are engraved alongside the standard wording.
Is there a freestanding version for a counter?
Yes — the CCTV in Operation freestanding sign stands on a counter, desk or till point, in two sizes, single or double-sided.

Materials & Care
Materials & Care
Our products are made from natural materials, including:
• Oak veneered MDF – ideal for indoor use, not suitable for damp or outdoor environments
• Bamboo – more water resistant and suitable for items like name badges, but lightweight and not recommended for outdoor signage in windy conditions
To ensure longevity, we recommend keeping all items dry and avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture.
