The UK Safety Camera Network is a decentralized, ethical, and community-driven CCTV project.
Our job is to protect the data rights of members of the public and to ensure compliance with UK Law
Visit Our Main Site at USCN.UK
Every camera is backed by a detailed Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).
We:
Use privacy masking for private windows or gardens
Follow UK GDPR and CCTV Code of Practice
Store data for a maximum of 31 days
Don’t monitor 24/7, footage is only accessed when needed
Log every access or use of footage
Each camera gets a public Transparency Page.
It includes:
A link to the live feed (viewer only, no downloads)
The full DPIA for that specific camera
A secure form to request footage (e.g. crime victim, DSAR)
Just scan the QR code on any camera sign to access it.
You submit a request with a location and time.
We ask for verified government ID.
If your identity matches the person in the footage, we redact others and provide the clip, and delete your ID from our systems.
If not, we reject the request and delete your ID from our system.
Your data is protected, and so is everyone else's.
Note: We require that you upload your ID to our secure link where you can verify it's been deleted - we require you to provide ID to ensure we are providing footage to the correct person and redact others to comply with GDPR.
