Privacy, footage and the law
How do I make sure my CCTV footage is accepted as evidence?
Keep the system compliant (SIRA in Dubai, ADMCC in Abu Dhabi, police requirements elsewhere) with signage in place; make sure the recorder's clock is correct; have a qualified person export the footage and log who handled it and when; keep the original export untouched and work on copies. Courts may appoint an expert to check footage has not been edited.
General information, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by premises type: confirm with the relevant authority or an approved installer.
