10. Potential legal infringements
Observe the following information for using the IP surveillance camera:
Copyright
Generally every person owns his/her own image. According to the copyright law, images may only be published without the
consent of the respective person if the person appears only as a person embellishment to a landscape image, or a location as
a public place. The answer to the question of whether a person is embellished depends on the individual circumstances. For
reasons of legal certainty persons should be informed in all cases in which images are taken with the IP surveillance camera
from which persons can be identified (see also section “Duty of notification”).
Protection of privacy
Shown images may not infringe the privacy of others. Do not point camera onto the garden or entrance door of your
neighbour, even if these locations are visible from your known home or public locations. This does not entitle you to publish
respective photos or videos.
Personal determinability
Personal determinability exists, where it can be determined that a certain person was at a certain place at a certain time. The
person can also be identified by a personal identifier such as a vehicle registration plate. Personal determinability of persons
must be absolutely avoided.
Surveillance cameras at the place of work
Surveillance of workplaces is subject to particular strict regulations. Employers should not use surveillance cameras at the
place of work unless potential legal infringements can be fully excluded. Please inform yourself about the applicable laws in
your country
Traffic surveillance cameras
When using surveillance cameras facing traffic, it is recommended to configure the location and view of the camera in such a
way that road users are identifiable from any images through a vehicle registration plate. Road users could also be determined
from lettering on vehicles.
