CCTV in locker room.

generalmental

Hi all can anyone help me please.

Today in my local gym I noticed a sign in the locker room that I have not noticed before, but I am not sure if the sign has been there all along but I only noticed it today.

Basically the sign was warning that there was cctv monitoring in the building. Once I noticed the sign I had a look around the locker room didn't see any noticeable cameras but out of the corner of my eye I noticed what looked like a small camera in the ceiling.

I am not 100% sure that it is a camera but I have worked for a company who had covert cameras everywhere I am a bit suspicious.

I am also not too happy with the idea of being filmed if it is a camera. I'm not body shy or anything like that just don't like the idea of being filmed in such a private place.

If it is a camera are they allowed to have it filming people while they are getting changed?

Cameras In toilets are fine as long as they are faced away from urinals/toilets themselves.

It would be a bit harder to have a useful camera in a locker room and not invade people’s privacy.

You could ask to see the manager and confront them about what you believe is a camera in the locker room.

Post an image.

They wouldn't be allowed to have looking right at where one would be changing or in toilets but corridors would be ok.

I have thought about that. But I'm not sure if it actually is a camera. I don't want to go all guns blazing and then look like an idiot if I am wrong.

I have absolutely no problem with the cctv in the corridor or in the gym itself, they have to protect their business.

I forgot to take a picture. I will get one next time I am there.

So don't. Ask the manager politely if there's a camera there.
