UK ICO Guidance on Video Surveillance including CCTV (2022) P.1: P.1 Consider less intrusive alternatives first, aim cameras at the relevant space only, and document the lawful basis before deployment

Modern systems (high definition, powerful lenses, online sharing) can be very intrusive, so the organisation should first consider achieving its aim by less privacy-intrusive means (lighting, fencing, regeneration of a disused space) and use surveillance only as a necessary and proportionate response. Fixed and mobile cameras should focus on the relevant space and restrict wider views that are unnecessary (a café camera that sees into a neighbouring flat should be re-aimed). It should assess the impact on people's rights, clearly document and justify its lawful basis before deploying, and do a DPIA where high risk is likely.
