Camera in the entrance without the knowledge of neighbors: the Deputy revealed the main rule of installation

Many residents want to protect their apartments from thieves and vandals, especially given the frequent theft of parcels from stairwells. The logical solution is to install a camera above the door. But then the question arises: will the neighbors not? Do I need to run to the UK or organize a vote of residents?

Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on housing Sergei Kolunov put all the dots on the “i”. By law, residents have the right to independently install a video surveillance system in the common corridor. Coordination with the management company or the meeting of owners in this case is not required.

However, the deputy made a reservation. Personal security should not override the constitutional rights of others to privacy. The camera lens should be aimed exclusively at the front door of its owners and a small spot in front of it.

“The doors of other apartments should not be visible in the image. This is a strict requirement, confirmed by judicial practice, the parliamentarian stressed.

Thus, if the “smart” eye seizes the neighbor’s door or part of someone else’s personal area, the tenant who installed it breaks the law. Dissatisfied neighbor can sue, which will decide to dismantle the equipment, writes “RIA Novosti”.
