Camera Legislation
Security cameras are trusted, you can find them everywhere. On one hand they make us feel safe, on the other hand they also inspire fear, because they record our every move.
Initially there was just the privacy law to comply with, however since March 21, 2007 there is a specific law for anyone that has camera's installed. This came into place to ensure that both parties are protected (the person being recorded as well as the person doing the recording). You can read the actual law by clicking on the button below "Camera legislation" (only available in Dutch of French)

What to take into consideration
If you are planning to use CCTV, you have to take the proportionality principle into consideration. This means:
In some cases, both the CCTV law and the Collective Labor Agreement may apply: in a supermarket, cameras can simultaneously serve to monitor staff who operate the cash register and to prevent crimes such as shoplifting.
ADDRESSES AND WEBSITES
- There needs to be a balance between your own interest and the rights to the protection of privacy of the person being filmed. For example: is a camera in a doctor's waiting room really needed?
- No other measures are possible that are less intrusive on the privacy of the person being filmed. For example: concert organizers do not need to film the entrance to the concert hall to see whether everyone is paying: they can also place supervisors who check visitors' tickets.
- No unnecessary images are processed and camera cannot be aimed at a place for which one has no authorization. For example: a club owner is not allowed to point a camera at the public road to see trouble makers coming from afar. Not every road user is a visitor of the club, moreover, the club owner is not allowed to film public places.
- Security cameras that are regulated by special legislation such as the football law (exteral link)
- Surveillance cameras at the workplace; note that the private sector must comply with CAO number 68(exteral link) (PDF, 8 p. – 98,19kB) .

What can camera surveillance be used for?
According to the camera law, a surveillance camera is any fixed or mobile observation system that collects, processes or stores images to:

Where can surveillance cameras occur?
Surveillance cameras can occur in three types of places:
A public place is any place that does not have any enclosure and is freely accessible to the public. This enclosure does not need to be an actual fence, a sign with the word 'private' also counts as enclosure.
Examples of non-enclosed places are public roads, market places, municipal squares, public parks, public car parks
Private places, accessible to the public is by law any enclosed building or place intended solely for the use of the public and where services are provided to the public. Examples: businesses, shopping centers, department stores, campsites, counter halls of banks, museums, sports halls or fields, restaurants, cafés, doctor's surgeries, etc.
Private places, not accessible to the pubic, is any enclosed building or place intended solely for the use by its usual users. Examples: family homes, apartment buildings (including entrance hall), office buildings (where no services are offered to the public), factories, farms, etc
If you are not sure to which category you belong or if you have multiple places with one CCTV system, the strictest rules apply.
- in public places

How can CCTV images be used?
How images can be viewed/used, depends on the place where the CCTV is located.
Images of a private place can only be watched in "real time" if:
Images of a private place can only be watched in "real time" if:
- this is done under the supervision of the competent authority
- police forces can intervene immediately in the event of crime, damage or public disruption. The camera is their to help them control the situation swiftly.
How can these CCTV images be stored?
Images from a private place and a private place that is accessible to the public, can only be saved when:
- the images serve to collect evidence of crime or damage, and to track down perpetrators, witnesses and/or victims
- you do not keep the images for more than one month. If the recorded images can serve to prove a crime, provide evidence against an offender or identify a witness or victim, you may keep the images longer.
Who is entitled to access the surveillance camera images?
Anyone that is being filmed has the right to access the images regardless of sex, age, status, etc. They can only exercise that right if the images were also recorded. To access images, they must send a reasoned request to the controller.
Do I have to declare a security camera?
If you install a surveillance camera, you must inform the Commission for the protection of privacy. You can go through an electronic declaration procedure on the website of the Commission.(externe link) You must declare the camera at the latest the day before you use it.
For a non-enclosed site, you also need written permission from the relevant municipal council and police chief of the police zone.
There is only one situation in which you do not have to file a declaration: if you place the camera in your own home. But when you place a security camera in the garden or on the facade of your home, you must file a declaration.
