So the trick is to define clear objectives for the video surveillance and try to select the most appropriate equipment for those tasks. For example, if there is a history of a NFH attacking a property, either through general ASB or perhaps vandalism, arson or physical assault, then trying to deter this type of behaviour using a highly visible camera, is generally unlikely to have the desired result.
Instead the NFH may simply decide to attack in other ways, or choose to target areas not seen to be covered by the CCTV. In this situation, it is sensible to use a hidden covert camera, so that vital evidence can be obtained, which is acceptable for use by the Police and Criminal Justice System (CJS).
It’s perhaps worth mentioning that using covert CCTV in a domestic environment is entirely lawful, provided it is not used in such a way as to cause a deliberate harassment to the neighbouring properties.
