CCTV signs
A CCTV sign tells people that cameras are in use. These printable signs cover the usual wordings: "CCTV in operation", "24 hour CCTV", "Images are being recorded", a crime-prevention notice, "This property is protected by CCTV" and a car park version, plus a black-and-white text sign. Each is a PDF in A5, A4 and A3, portrait and landscape, with a white camera on a blue square. If your cameras record people, data protection rules apply, so read the ICO guidance on signage.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.
- Use thicker paper or card (160gsm or more) if the sign will be handled.
- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Shops, offices and reception areas
- Car parks, yards and loading bays
- Homes, garages and outbuildings
- Schools, clubs and community buildings
- Entrances to premises where cameras cover the approach
Questions
What should a CCTV sign say?
At least that CCTV is in use. If you record people, guidance expects the sign to say why and who to contact. Check the ICO guidance for your case.
Do I need a sign for home CCTV?
If your camera captures public spaces or neighbours, data protection rules may apply. A sign is good practice; check the ICO guidance.
Is a CCTV sign the same as a warning sign?
No. It is an information notice, not a hazard warning, so it uses a blue square.
Can I print my own contact details on it?
Our PDFs have fixed wording. Write contact details on a label and fix it below the sign, or ask for the editable version.
