You can monitor your own property if you inform properly (post notices, renters have to agree, ...)<p>&gt; <i>Can they apply for an exemption and is it normally granted?</i><p>No. If your camera monitors public space (streets, sidewalk, ...) it either has to be so far in the distance that it can&#x27;t identify people or cars, or you have to block these parts of the image (either physically, or by blanking those parts of the signal before they are recorded. Many cameras allow to put black boxes over parts of the image in firmware)
