Summary

The complainant alleged that the respondent neighbour had installed a CCTV camera opposite the complainant's door entrance, violating privacy. The respondent initially denied the Police access during the site visit, necessitating a second visit. The Police subsequently confirmed that the cameras were capturing images only inside the respondent's yard and terrace and were not capturing images inside the complainant's premises at any point. The enquiry was closed with a finding that no breach of the Data Protection Act occurred.
