CCTV Code of Practice

Closed Circuit Television operates in many parts of the University’s campus and is used to support the work carried out by its Security Staff. The central systems are monitored from a dedicated control room.
Additional systems are installed within other departments and buildings on the campus.

The CCTV systems have been installed with the aim of protecting the public environment and reducing the fear of crime.

All CCTV processing, by the University of Birmingham, is covered by the Data Protection Act 1998. To view the University’s Operation Policy for CCTV, CCTV Code of Practice (PDF - 27KB)
