Surveillance Cameras
We have 4 cameras on the outside of the B&B. One looks down at the main entrance door and along the front of the building another looks down at the garden gate from inside the back garden, the third overlooks the patio and back garden and the fourth looks at the back guest entrance. There are also 2 cameras inside the building. One in the internal guest access corridor and one in the breakfast room. None of the cameras are pointed at the landings, guest bedrooms , doors or windows.
We use these cameras for the security of our property, ourselves, our animals, our guests and our guests’ property and the one in the breakfast room is to aid efficient breakfast service.
The data is recorded securely online and is only kept for 10 days.
The only people to have access to this data are B&B owners, Kayt and Hugh Cooper. The data is password protected.
