Security Notice these Premises Under Constant Surveillance - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A "Security Notice – These Premises Are Under Constant Surveillance" sign is used to clearly inform anyone entering or approaching a property that it is continuously monitored by security cameras. The purpose of this sign is twofold: to deter criminal activity (such as theft, vandalism, or trespassing) and to comply with legal requirements regarding notification of video surveillance. The mention of "constant surveillance" emphasises that monitoring is ongoing, not intermittent, increasing the psychological deterrent effect.

These signs should be placed in high-visibility locations, particularly at building entrances, vehicle access points, and perimeter fences. Strategic placement ensures that people are aware of surveillance before entering the premises. Additional signs may be placed inside the building, especially in areas like lobbies, corridors, elevators, and loading bays to reinforce the message and extend the deterrent to interior spaces.

You’ll commonly find these signs in office buildings, schools, shopping centres, warehouses, banks, parking structures, and residential complexes. Any facility with valuable assets, sensitive information, or a need to protect occupants can benefit from these signs. They are especially effective when combined with actual surveillance systems, security personnel, and other deterrents like alarm systems or access control measures.

In summary, a "Security Notice – These Premises Are Under Constant Surveillance" sign plays a critical role in both crime prevention and legal compliance. It promotes transparency, discourages unlawful behaviour, and supports a safer environment for employees, customers, and residents. Proper placement and visibility are key to maximising its effectiveness as part of a broader security strategy.
