Milton Security Camera Laws
Installing security cameras in Milton is completely legal, as long as you follow a few basic guidelines:
✅ What’s Allowed:
- You can install cameras on your property (home or business).
- You’re allowed to capture public spaces incidentally (e.g. street, sidewalk, driveway).
- Businesses can record video only inside and outside, but not audio without consent.
- No permit required for residential security systems.
🚫 What to Avoid:
- Don’t aim cameras directly into a neighbor’s windows, yard, or private areas.
- Don’t install hidden cameras in shared or private spaces (inside or outside).
- Audio recording in a commercial setting requires notice or signage under Canadian law.
- If you’re part of a condo or townhouse board, check bylaws.
🔒 Optional: Use Signage
There’s no law requiring signs, but we recommend it. Signage helps:
- Deter intruders
- Warn employees/customers (if commercial)
- Protect you legally if someone tries to claim “invasion of privacy”
