What CCTV Do I Need in a Salon or Barbershop?
Quick answer

A salon needs a camera on the till and counter, one on the entrance and one over the waiting area. Never place cameras where clients change or are treated in private; point them at the door and the till instead. Salons lose cash at the till, products from the shelves, and phones and bags in the waiting area, so those are the views worth recording.

Can I put a camera in the styling area?

Often three to four: till, door, waiting area and the product shelf.

Do salons need a music system too?

Do I need to tell clients?
