A hotel needs cameras at reception and the entrance, corridors and stairwells, the car park, loading and kitchen back doors, and the perimeter. Never put cameras inside guest rooms or bathrooms. Corridor cameras should show faces at the ends of corridors and at lift lobbies. Plan central recording and a control point, and decide who can access footage and for how long it is kept.
Key takeaways
- Reception, corridors, car park, back of house and perimeter.
- Never record inside guest rooms.
- Plan central recording and access rules.
- Use a UPS and weatherproof outdoor cameras.

06Frequently asked questions
Can I put cameras in guest corridors?
Yes; corridors are shared spaces. Keep cameras out of rooms and bathrooms.
How long should a hotel keep footage?
Long enough to resolve guest complaints and lost-property claims. Size storage for that period and document your retention rule.
Do guests need to be told about CCTV?
Yes. Put clear signs at the entrance and in covered areas; Kenya's data protection rules apply to footage of people.
Can it link with access control?
Many hotels combine CCTV with door-card access logs so an access event can be matched to the video. Ask your installer.
