Cover reception, corridors, back of house and the perimeter, and never guest rooms or bathrooms. Imagine something goes wrong at your gate tonight. Could you show exactly who, when and how? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Reception, corridors, car park, back of house and perimeter. - Never record inside guest rooms. - Plan central recording and access rules. Quick answer 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. [Photo: Alan J.

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. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
