    I am new here. I just want to know if its right for my manager to be checking on CCTV all the time to harass the staffs. I work as a security and there is a CCTV in control room. But all the time the manager seat in his office to review the CCTV all the time to punish anyone he don't like. Please I will like to know my right in this issue.

    Your manager reviewing the cctv is perfectly acceptable, especially seen you work in security unless it's during a break of course.
    Best advice is to do nothing that give him or her an excuse you pick on issues they see on the camera.

    He could well be breaking the law depending on how intrusive it is.

    He'd want to have a cast iron case for doing it.

    Here's the page the data protection commission mentions it on:
    https://www.dataprotection.ie/docs/Guidance-Notes-Monitoring-of-Staff/208.htm
    If CCTV cameras are in operation, and public access is allowed, a notice to that effect should be displayed. Any monitoring must be carried out in the least intrusive way possible. Only in exceptional circumstances associated with a criminal investigation, and in consultation with the Gardai, should resort be made to covert surveillance
    monitoring and surveillance whether in terms of email use, internet use, video cameras or location data are subject to data protection requirements. Any monitoring must be a proportionate response by an employer to the risk he or she faces taking into account the legitimate privacy and other interests of workers.
    at a very minimum, staff should be aware of what the employer is collecting on them (directly or from other sources). Staff have a right of access to their data under section 4 of the Data Protection Acts.
    any personal data processed in the course of monitoring must be adequate, relevant and not excessive and not retained for longer than necessary for the purpose for which the monitoring is justified.

    Here's their contact page:
    https://www.dataprotection.ie/docs/Contact-us/b/11.htm

    You could contact them and ask what they think.
