A pharmacy needs cameras on the entrance, the dispensing counter, the medicine and controlled-drug cabinets and the stockroom or back door. Place counter cameras so they show the handover without recording customers' private papers. Keep recordings for a period you can justify, restrict who can view them and put up a sign.
Key takeaways
- Cover entrance, counter, cabinets and stock door.
- Do not record customers' prescriptions clearly.
- Restrict who can view footage.
- Back up recordings from the counter.

06Frequently asked questions
Is CCTV allowed in a pharmacy?
Generally yes for security, but footage of customers is personal data under Kenya's data protection rules. Use signs, limit access and keep the footage only as long as needed.
Where should the counter camera point?
At the till and the handover area from above. Avoid angles that capture readable prescriptions or customer details.
How many cameras does a small pharmacy need?
Often four to six: entrance, counter, cabinet, stockroom, back door and one on the shop floor.
Should I add an alarm?
A burglar alarm with a door contact and a motion sensor in the stock area is a sensible addition for a stock of high-value medicines.
