CCTV in Operation
The CCTV in operation sign is used to inform everyone on the premises, whether indoors or outdoors, that the said area has surveillance cameras.
It shares information about the cameras actively recording in the area and since it’s a legal requirement as well, the CCTV in operation sign is mandatory.
In addition to the legal requirement under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the sign also acts as a deterrent against crime and anti-social behaviour.
At Foamex Printing Company, we provide CCTV in operation signs with the standard and customisable artwork fit to your requirements, and we also take bulk orders.
What are the Key Requirements for CCTV in Operation Sign in the UK?
To be legible and compliant with the laws, the CCTV in operation signboards need to be positioned at entrance points and near cameras ensuring they are clearly visible.
As for the content on the signboard is concerned, it needs to say clearly, “CCTV in Operation” or “CCTV Surveillance” or “24-Hour CCTV in Operation”.
As per the GDPR guidelines, the CCTV signs must share the purpose of recording, whether it’s for security or safety of the area.
The materials of the signboard have to be strong enough to install them in any environment without worrying about the signboards getting damaged due to heat, water, wind, etc.
In the UK, these signs can be bought online or ordered from certified vendors and suppliers with the capacity to design the signboards.
Materials and Printing Specifications of CCTV in Operation Sign
Primarily we use Foamex boards for the CCTV and other types of signs, including notice private property keep out signs, no parking signs, and more.
Also called PVC foam board, these signs are durable and have a rigid plastic sheet added to make the signboards sturdy and robust.
Foamex boards also have a smooth finish, so they are perfect to add the required pictograms and content that is easier to read.
Leveraging the smooth surface of the Foamex PVC boards, we use UV printing technology so that the boards have a vibrant print and high-quality image for crystal clear display.
Using advanced colour management techniques for our printed colours, we ensure the text and pictograms match the intended design.
Our experts use colour profiles like CMYK and Pantone on the boards calibrating the monitors to ensure colour consistency access to the signboard.
