Video in the workplace

Cameras are generally permitted in non-private business areas, but restrooms, changing rooms and spaces where employees have a reasonable privacy expectation are off limits.

Audio is the risky part

Florida is a two-party consent state, so recording private conversations without consent can create real liability. Most businesses should leave audio disabled.

Notices, policies and retention

Post visible notice, document the purpose of monitoring in an employee policy, and set a retention period instead of keeping footage indefinitely.

When implementing a florida surveillance laws business solution, evaluate your existing infrastructure, plan for future expansion, and account for site-specific conditions. The IDS CCTV team can help size, specify, and support your system. Contact our wholesale team โ†’
