In my last post, I talked about 137 new homes constructed for lower income modern humans by Rotterdam in Afrikanderwijk. In this post I would like to share with you an email that I had received from my housing corporation about how to properly and legally use a video doorbell in front of your home.
Video doorbell – what should you pay attention to?
More and more people are choosing a video doorbell. Handy, because then you can see who is at your door, even when you are not at home. But what are the actual laws and regulations about this? Only point the video doorbell at your home. Passers-by, or the neighbor's home, may not be visible on the camera. That is why a video doorbell is usually not suitable for porch and gallery homes. Do not damage the home when installing. Drilling into the facade or roof is not permitted. Consult with your neighbors. This way you know what the video doorbell records. This prevents misunderstandings. www.hefwonen.nl
Legal consent is required to record someone in public
Rotterdam is a city of rule of law. The city of law abiding citizens. It is one of the security public services that I love about my hometown. By law, you need a legal consent to record someone in public. Video doorbells are not any different.
