CCTV signs in the UK inform individuals that they are being recorded and also act as a deterrent protecting the area from unwanted and unauthorised access.
In the areas where CCTV surveillance is there, having CCTV signs is a legal requirement under the Data Protection Act 2018.
The installation of these signs is also, but it must follow the GDPR guidelines where surveillance is required.

The CCTV signs in the UK need to be clearly visible, legible, and placed at the building’s entrances. This is required to be compliant with Data Protection Law (UK GDPR and Data Protection Act, 2018).
The GDPR and Data Protection Act classifies CCTV footage as personal data which mandates transparency by using proper signage at entrances of the buildings.
To be compliant, the signs need to be A3 or A4 size minimum with bold text and contrasting colours. The weatherproofing requirement of the CCTV signs is also imprinted in the regulations.
